52 Chapter2•InstallingSQLServer2008 Note that management tools such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and Business Intelligence Developer Studio (BIDS) are supported in WOW64, a feature of 64-bit editions of Windows that enables 32-bit applications to run natively in 32-bit mode. Applications function in 32-bit mode, even though the underlying operating system is running on the 64-bit operating system. In determining which edition of SQL Server 2008 to install and use, understand- ing hardware requirements from existing or new servers is critical (see Table 2.5).

The difference between the hardware configurations is the maximum number of CPUs supported (see Table 2.8). 56 Chapter2•InstallingSQLServer2008 In terms of disk space for the installing the SQL Server components, the following are the minimum disk requirements for the various SQL Server components. Database engine, replication, and full-text search and default data files use 280 MB Analysis Services engine and data files require 90 MB Reporting Services and Report Manager require a total of 120MB Integration Services require 120MB Client components require 850MB SQL Server Books Online and SQL Server Compact Books Online require 240MB Operating System Requirements The operating system minimum requirements for a SQL Server 2008 upgrade or installation is dependent on the hardware, as well as on which version of SQL Server 2008 is being installed.
