*Connectivity through drivers provided by DataDirect Technologies (supplied separately).

+ Non-relational and Business Application Sources require custom connectors. Contact BDQ for further information.

Native or ODBC client drivers, for any relational sources to which direct connectivity is required, should be installed on the machine housing the Server components.

Minimum recommended configurations provided. Total processor and memory requirements for BDQ components will be dependent on any additional applications and services running on the same machine. Performance improvements may be available if the Server components are installed on a machine offering additional processors and memory.

The disk space requirements listed cover the installation of BDQ Analysis only. Server components should be installed on a partition, or drive that has sufficient free disk space to import the data that is to be profiled. In terms of disk space, approximately 1.5x the size of the raw data source is required for optimal performance.

If a standalone installation is required, the BDQ Server installation includes a copy of the Client components.
