The computer hardware you listed make a great PC for using FlexSim, though you've said earlier that these are the specs for the database server? Whether or not it meets the specs to run whatever database is being used is up to the database vendor. Probably they are fine since they describe a fairly new and powerful computer.
Please help me make sure I understand the following points correctly:
- You have a local installation of FlexSim. It is licensed via your company's license server. This is working correctly.
- You are building a model for a client. The client has data in a database. You need the model to connect to this remote database before/during/after the model run.
- While you are building and running the model on your computer, you need it to connect to the client's remote database server.
- When your client runs the model, they need to still access the same database server.
If you go through the MySQL+FlexSim tutorial in the linked Q&A post, you will learn how to download, install, and configure an ODBC connection. This is how FlexSim connects to databases, and even though your database is probably not MySQL, it is still good to do this exercise to understand what is going on. The details of how to connect to your client's specific database engine, whether local or remote, will be specific to the ODBC driver provided by the database vendor, so please consult with their documentation after doing the tutorial.
As long as both you and your client install the proper ODBC drivers and configure a connection using the same name (so that your FlexSim model can use the same connection name regardless of whether it is you or your client running the model), then you should be fine.
