Minimum Configuration Requirements
For software and hardware, the minimum configuration requirements for FSA are the same as those required for the Windchill RV&S server. For more information on minimum system requirements for the Windchill RV&S server, see Windchill RV&S System Guidelines.
* 
FSA does not require an external database or a separate database server. FSA uses an internal database for caching.
FSA does not have specific communications requirements; however, performance of FSA may vary according to the limits of your communication systems. Generally, you can consider installing a proxy for any remote sites that have significant network traffic to the Windchill RV&S server.
