FactoryTalk Linx Redundancy Module Configuration Tool recommends the following hardware for applications with typical data acquisition needs:

• Intel® Core™ i5 Standard Power processor
• Total processor cores is recommended to be no less than 4 for virtual machines
• 4 GB of memory

Lower level x86 based CPUs will also work in standalone configurations with reduced data acquisition needs.

For small applications, the following configuration was also evaluated:

• 4 GB of memory
• 1500 data points

It is recommended to run performance validation test on the planned computer hardware to ensure the desired capacity and performance can be achieved.
