Virtual Machines
Quest Software, Inc. formally tests Evolve Suite in Microsoft Hyper-V environments. If you experience problems running Evolve Suite in any other virtual environment, and these problems cannot be reproduced outside the virtual environment, Erwin Inc. requires that you seek support from your virtualization vendor. Virtual environments must be configured as per the System Requirements for the equivalent real machine.
Quest Software, Inc. does not support the investigation of performance issues for virtual environments that have not been configured in line with the System Requirements.
Apart from performance problems caused by inadequate virtual machine resources, Erwin Inc. is not currently aware of any problems running Evolve Suite on Citrix and VMware.

Cores
|
8 Cores (balanced) Calculate 1 CPU core per 2 users. For example: a 4 core machine will support up to 8 users. |
16 Cores (balanced) Calculate 1 CPU core per 2 users. For example: an 8 core machine will support up to 16 users. |
Supported Environments:
Microsoft Windows Server 2019
Microsoft Windows Server 2022
Notes:
The client installation on the terminal server cannot have a stand-alone database and must be connected to an Evolve database server on a different machine.
For more than 30 users, we recommend using multiple servers.
Verify that your chosen operating system can use your machine’s available memory.
User Memory Requirements
User memory requirements are dependent on the number of erwin Evolve Suite users and the type of usage.
|
User |
Memory(RAM) |
Tasks |
|---|---|---|
|
Standard user |
700 MB |
Creating and editing diagrams |
|
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.
Model Management of large models is not recommended on terminal servers.
Total Memory Requirements
With Evolve Suite, one central process maintains log on 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:
