Do I need to know how to use Linux?
No – Installation is completely automated and all post install configuration is performed via the web interface.

What server hardware will it run on?
It will run on most server hardware that meets the minimum stated requirements (see below).
This includes, but is not limited to:
• Dell 2950, 1950, 2500, 2400
• HP/Compaq DL360, DL380

Can I get root access to the device?
This is not provided by default but can be supplied at the discretion of the jetNEXUS support team

Hardware Requirements

CPU and Memory
A high-end Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM. More memory would be required where caching is being employed. How much will of course depend on how much data you are planning for the ALB-X to cache. Note: performance is significantly improved by running multi core CPU’s.

Network Requirements
Two NICs (Network Interface Cards). jetNEXUS ISO build officially supports only Intel and Broadcom on the basis of their suitability for - and performance with network intensive processes on server hardware.
