module.
When installing on multiple PCs, keep the following rules of thumb in mind:
l 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.
l The back-end database (MySQL by default) benefits from more RAM, speedy disk access
and fast networking as it will be solicited by all modules simultaneously.
Editions of Connect Products
There are three editions of OL Connect: PrintShop Mail Connect, PlanetPress Connect and
PReS Connect.
While all three editions share common modules, they are generally not used for the same
purposes. Technically speaking, their hardware requirements would therefore be the same but
in practice, PReS Connect is likely to require higher-end hardware while PrintShop Mail
Connect will generally require less power to achieve expected results.
Note
As with any JAVA application, the more RAM available, the faster PrintShop Mail Connect will
execute.
