Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms > Hardware and Network Requirements >

Server Network Requirements

Siebel Enterprise Server machines require:

• A TCP/IP LAN with a minimum 100Mb/s connection between database hosting the Siebel data and the Siebel Servers, including all server components on the Siebel Servers.
• TCP/IP LAN or WAN with a minimum 100Mb/s connection between the Siebel Servers and Web servers fronting the Siebel application.
• A TCP/IP LAN or WAN with a minimum 100Mb/s connection between the Web servers fronting the Siebel application and the Web browsers.
• For consumer applications such as Siebel eSales, Siebel eService, and so on, 56kbps modem or better is advised. If lower bandwidth modems are used the application will be functional, however, performance degradation can be expected.

Firewall Proxy/Reverse Proxy Support

Firewall proxies and reverse proxies implemented in conjunction with Siebel applications is supported with HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 protocol. Special deployment considerations should be made when using proxies that support HTTP 1.0. For detailed information, see the section about installing the Siebel Web Server Extension in the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using and Security Guide for Siebel Business Applications.

Siebel File System Requirements

The Siebel File System is a network shared directory structure used for storing the file attachments and literature within Siebel Business Applications.

The Siebel File System can be deployed on any Siebel-supported operating system that supports long filenames.

The Siebel File System must be accessible by Siebel Enterprise Server within the network, either as a network share, or as a locally mounted drive. For more information about setting up the Siebel File System, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
