Supported Environments:

Windows Server 2019

Windows Server 2016

Notes:

The client installation on the Terminal Server cannot have a stand-alone database and must be connected to a Evolve database server on a different machine.

For more than 30 users we recommend multiple servers.

You should verify that your chosen operating system can make use of your machine’s available memory.

User Memory Requirements

User memory requirements are dependent on the number of Evolve Suite users and the type of usage.

User

Memory (RAM)

Tasks

Standard user

700 MB

Creating and editing diagrams

Publishing user

3 GB

Creating reports in HTML or Word using Corporate Publisher

Model Manager

2 GB

Using import/export features

The details shown above are dependent on both the size of the model and the complexity of the diagrams. The more complicated the model and/or diagram, the more memory required.

 

Notes:

For Model Management, the amount of memory required over and above that of the standard user needs to be at least five times the size of all the models and XML files involved*.

For Corporate Publisher, assume at least 10 times the size of all the models and XML files involved*.

Model Management of large models is not recommended on Terminal servers.

Publishing large models is not recommended on Terminal servers.

Total memory requirements

With Evolve Suite, one central process maintains logon information while additional processes perform specific tasks. It means that there are always more processes running than are visible on the taskbar.

For example, a dedicated Terminal Server, connected to SQL Server, to be used by up to 10 concurrent Evolve Suite users, plus one Model Manager and one publishing user, would have the following memory requirements:

Item

Memory required (RAM)

Operating System requirements

256 MB (recommended by Microsoft)

Citrix Meta Frame

64 MB (if installed)

Standard user (x10)

700 MB x 10 = 7000 MB

Publishing user

3000 MB

Model Manager

2000 MB

Total used when connected to SQL Server

12,320 MB
