Review the hardware requirements for Juris

Network (for Juris)

LexisNexis supports the Juris software on a properly configured Novell or Microsoft network, as follows:

n Network software needs to be a current version with all service packs applied n Access to a qualified network engineer

Server recommendations (for Juris)

LexisNexis requires that the Juris database server be a separate device from any computer performing as a file and print server, domain controller, or Exchange server. This is particularly relevant with Small Business Server. Additional Juris installation information is available in the installation guides.

The Juris database does not need a dedicated database server if your firm has multiple

applications using the same database engine. Additional applications/databases on the SQL Server may significantly increase the memory and processor requirements.

Note

The database server computer needs a minimum of required RAM, plus 32 MB of RAM per active user (the estimated number of users concurrently connecting to the server at any one time). Inadequate memory reduces performance.
