System RequirementsGeosoft DAP is a multi-threaded server application that will take maximum advantage of multiple processors and available memory. The more processors and memory on the server, the better the performance will be. The requirements listed below are guidelines. Speed and performance of a DAP server will be dependent on the hardware configuration and the data serving demands of your site.
Corporate DAP ServerA Geosoft DAP server should be dedicated to providing Geosoft DAP services only in order to provide the required performance and responses to requests from data users. The minimum recommended DAP server configuration for a corporate DAP solution is:

The chart below shows the length of Microsoft's mainstream support for each version of Windows and Geosoft's plan for supporting each version of Windows once Microsoft's mainstream support has ended.

- Operating system support schedule for Geosoft software
Geosoft OS support policy
During the support period for a version of Windows, Geosoft will test our software to ensure that it works on that versions of Windows. The Geosoft Support teams will have access to and be trained on supporting customers on the OS.
Some Geosoft software installations may require a specific Windows service pack version, or have a certain limitations (32 or 64 bit support). For example, Oasis montaj 7.2 requires Windows XP SP3. For specific details, see the system requirements section for your Geosoft software version.
Microsoft mainstream and extended support policy
The Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ outlines their basic policy: Mainstream support is provided for 5 years or for 2 years after the next successive OS is released. After this period, the OS enters an Extended support cycle. The important factor about the extended support period is that no ports are made of new technology into the OS. For example, the .NET 3.5 framework will not be ported to an older OS than Windows XP
