Episode 61: Client-Side Requirements — CPU, RAM, Security

This episode explains the hardware and software requirements that must be met for clients to effectively run various types of applications, especially in virtualized or remote environments. We begin by exploring how processor capabilities—such as virtualization support and clock speed—can affect the performance of local V M s or remote desktop sessions. Then we move on to RAM requirements, discussing how insufficient memory can cause application crashes or sluggish multitasking in both traditional and cloud-based setups.

We also address client-side security requirements, such as updated antivirus software, secure login credentials, and support for encryption technologies. These requirements ensure a client can interact safely and reliably with remote or cloud services, and they often appear in exam scenarios where you must determine why a system is underperforming or failing to connect. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of how to prepare a workstation to meet modern computing demands. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
