The system used to demonstrate DataDrone2 is composed of two headless mini-PC's running Linux UNIX as the operating system. Each PC will run a different database engine and instances; one employs Informix Dynamic Server versions 7.x through 9.x, the other will run DB2 Universal Database Server version 8.2.

Both systems will have the DataDrone2 system installed on them one operates as the primary and the other as the secondary or target system. There will be a small 10/100 hub, network cables, and a laptop with any web browser installed used for controlling the DataDrone2 system. Additionally, the system will be able to connect to the local site network to extract schemas, code, and scripts for sample conversion or actual conversion.
