The Connect Workflow module requires less RAM but fast hard drive access. It also benefits from
fast multi-core CPUs, in order to run processes in parallel.
l
The Connect Server module requires more RAM and benefits from fast multi-core CPUs. Disk
access speed is less of a concern.
l
The Connect Designer module requires more RAM and fast disk access to provide a responsive
user-experience.

Environment considerations
This page provides technical information about the environment in which PlanetPress Workflow is inten-
ded to run.
Terminal Services
PlanetPress Workflow does not support Remote Desktop (Terminal) Services because Workflow runs
on single server and only one user can log on at once.
Terminal Services may also be referred to as Terminal Server or Remote Administration Mode (Win-
dows Server 2003 and 2008).
Single-User Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) (where only one person can use RDP at a time) is sup-
ported for PlanetPress Workflow version 6.2 and higher, however it is only supported in Windows XP or
Windows 2003. While later versions of Windows may not cause issues when accessing PlanetPress
Workflow through RDP, these combinations are no longer tested and may not be functional.
Virtual environments
PlanetPress Workflow supports the following virtual environments:
l
VMWare Environments. This includes VMWare Player, VMWare Workstation as well as VMWare
ESX Server.
l
VMWare VMotion. This means the virtual machine hosting PlanetPress Workflow can be auto-
matically moved from one ESX server to another in a clustered installation.
l
Microsoft Hyper-V/Azure infrastructure environments.
l
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
PlanetPress Workflow is not officially supported on any other virtual machines such as Virtual PC, Par-
allels, Bochs, Xen, etc. While running PlanetPress Workflow on these virtual machines may work
finewe have not tested them and cannot offer support for them.
