Table 5 contains general recommended guidelines for hardware 
requirements and memory allocation based on the number of radios and 
WX switches your server will support. A larger number of WX switches 
implies more connections and data processing, and consequently, more 
CPU is required. A larger number of radios implies more data (including 
client sessions) which requires more RAM and storage.

3WXM Services can be installed either in standalone mode or shared mode. 
Standalone mode is when 3WXM client and 3WXM Services are installed on 
one machine. Standalone mode is primarily used for trying out 3WXM, while 
shared mode is used in a working environment. In shared mode, the 
administrator sets up 3WXM Services on a single host (typically with more 
resources) and other hosts with the client 3WXM application share 3WXM 
Services to access network plans and monitoring information. See Figure 1.
