DSCC runs as a web application inside Sun Java Web Console, which runs inside a web application container. DSCC also runs its own local instance of Directory Server to store configuration data.
The minimum requirement to run DSCC is 256 megabytes of memory and 100 megabytes of free disk space. However, for optimum performance run DSCC on a system with at least one gigabyte of memory devoted to DSCC and a couple gigabytes of free disk space.
