General information about the server:

The DATAflor BUSINESS Software can be installed as a Peer2Peer system or as a server + workstation. With the Peer2Peer installation there is no additional server, but a workstation functions as a server and workstation. This solution can have a performance impact. For reasons of speed and data security, we recommend a correct server / client network installation from the 3rd workstation. The address space for the network addresses must be configured according to IP V4. It is recommended to provide the server with a fixed IP address.

Operating systems:

• Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation or Standard
• Windows Small BUSINESS Server 2011 Essentials or Standard (Windows Home Server 2011 is not supported)
• Windows Server 2012 Standard, Foundation and Essentials
• Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, Foundation and Essentials
• Windows Server 2016 Standard, Datacenter and Essentials
• Windows Server 2019 Standard, Datacenter and Essentials

Server hardware minimum:

• Processor: at least Intel i5
• RAM 8 GB or more, 4 GB at 32 bit
• 15 GB free disk space
• We recommend the use of a RAID system for reliability
• DVD drive
