System Recommendations
The performance of a machine running Cinegy Archive components depends significantly on the workflow used by the associated Cinegy products. As a result, hardware and SQL Server recommendations vary based on predetermined availability requirements, installation size (in terms of concurrent users), and the estimated database size, which is influenced by the number of managed assets. Due to these variables, precise hardware recommendations cannot be provided.
The hardware recommendations provided here are based on previously tested older systems. The listed CPUs serve as a reference for selecting modern equivalent options rather than strict requirements.
Cinegy products work only on machines with a CPU supporting a minimum instruction set SSE4.1.

Note
|
For installations involving a large number of concurrent SQL connections and simultaneous database transactions (50–100 or more), we recommend contacting Cinegy Support for guidance on optimal system configurations. |
|
Caution
|
It is strongly recommended that you never use third-party tools to modify the Cinegy Archive database. Any damage caused by such actions is not covered by the official support policy. For database modifications, only Cinegy-provided tools or Cinegy-provided APIs should be used. |

SQL Server Native Client
SQL Server Native Client is a data access library introduced in SQL Server 2005. In addition to exposing features of Windows (formerly Microsoft) Data Access Components (WDAC), SQL Server Native Client also implements many other features to expose SQL Server functionality such as database mirroring; multiple active result sets (MARS), query notifications, snapshot isolation, and XML data type support.
For more information, please refer to the SQL Server technical documentation.
