Image-Master Non-SQL System and Server Requirements:

1) Basic static software: 200mb of disk space.
2) Index databases (non-SQL) for Collection-Master start at 0mb and grow to 2000mb max at a rate of no more than 200mb/year for a large office >50 users.
3) Data access is via mapped drives only. The only server role that is required is the file server role. No server components are running on the server.
4) Since the indexes benefit from fast I/O, server should feature performance over space.

Image-Master Document and Image Storage Server Requirements (may be combined with main system server or split up at any time):

A) Storage is linear on average figure 35,000 bytes per saved page. A typical office consumes a gigabyte of storage per year conservatively.
B) Data access is via mapped drives only. The only server role that is required is the file server role. No server components are running on the server.
C) Since the data consists of mainly read-only, relatively static images, low-cost storage can be primary over performance.

Users' Workstations

a) No specific requirements beyond what is specified for a typical modern Windows computer. Image-Master supports all Versions of Microsoft Windows (technically everything from 16-bit Windows 98 up to and including 64-bit Windows 8).
b) Some features require minimum versions of third-party applications: File to Image-Master requires WordPerfect 8.0 or greater. 2D barcoding in the Collection-Master merge requires WordPerfect 9.0 or greater.
c) Scanning workstations have slightly higher minimums, typically Windows 7 or 8.1 and 2 gig of RAM for most workgroup scanners (fi-series 6xxxx).
d) Terminal Server, Virtual Machines, Citrix Desktops are all fully supported as well. Scanning across a WAN into Terminal Server is supported with the use of USB extender technology (a third-party product).
