RFMS Core System Recommendations

This document is intended as a guideline for clients with 15 users or fewer, and an RFMS database size of less than 2 GB. Regardless of your number of users and database size, we welcome you to reach out to us directly and discuss your specific requirements so that we can provide more tailored recommendations.

RFMS strongly recommends consulting with your local IT provider and SQL administrator for all SQL and server-related purchases or changes because individualised adjustments based on your environment may be necessary.

Recommendations in this document are directed toward a server running Microsoft SQL Express for RFMS. The edition of SQL that you will need in order to run RFMS (Express, Standard, or Web) depends on your database size, number of concurrent connections, SQL management/reporting requirements, and other aspects specific to each client. Your IT provider is welcome to contact us to discuss any SQL recommendations or requirements.

This document does not take into account any other functions that your server may be required to provide, such as hosting other SQL instances, programs, or server roles. Please follow these recommendations at your own risk and with the guidance and advice of your local IT provider, who should be familiar with your environment, network, and business requirements. These recommendations are designed to provide you with the best RFMS performance possible; however, they do not guarantee optimum results as RFMS performance can be heavily affected by multiple environmental variables.
