Because we want your EnterpriseTenFold SOA Personal Edition experience to be simple and rewarding, we include a complete, fully configured relational database management system (RDBMS) in our installation package, along with an applications server and Web server capabilities.
When you run EnterpriseTenFold SOA Personal Edition, your stand-alone personal computer contains software components that typically run on different computers in production: RDBMS, applications server, web server, and applications clients. For a PC to run so much software and provide reasonable response time, you need a robust PC configuration.
We recommend system requirements below. Please see our troubleshooting tips and other available help for additional information.
