Hardware Requirements

2 The major parameter for deciding the number of cores is the number of users. If performance is not satisfactory when the number of users increase, adding cores or CPUs will be the best solution.

3 Disk space required for archived files is not included. Always make sure there is 20-30% free space left on the disk after reserving space for Index Manager. NAS disks are not supported for index and data cache storage. Disk performance is very important. SAN disks with low or moderate caching will not have acceptable performance.

Optional add-ons

• Adobe InDesign Server is required for Adobe InDesign document support
• Adobe Distiller Server or PStill is required for content indexing and to
  generate previews for Adobe Illustrator files and EPS Vectors graphics
