There are three different types of cadett ELSA installations available:
•Local installation on a personal computer
•A Windows Server installation with thick client computers in a Local Area Network (LAN)
•A Server installation with thin clients in a LAN or Wide Area Network (WAN)
Workstation computers that are running a thin client must meet the requirements of the particular version of Citrix, Microsoft RDP or TSplus that you are using.
The requirements for workstation computers that are not running a thin client are as follows:
•A supported version of AutoCAD or Solo eXs must be installed and the hard- and software requirements of that particular version of AutoCAD or Solo eXs must be met.
•If you are using AutoCAD, please refer to the AutoCAD documentation for details, but also detailed advice available from cadett.
•If you are using cadett ELSA LT, please refer to the most recent technical details that is available from cadett.
•Please also note that only Microsoft Windows versions of AutoCAD are supported.
When the server is concerned, the basic rule is that the server should be at least as powerful as the most powerful workstation. In that way bottleneck limitations in overall performance, which would otherwise be the consequence, are avoided.
A dedicated server is strongly recommended, meaning that the server should be used for cadett ELSA only, not for other purposes as well. That is very important!
Virtual servers are not only supported but also highly recommended. There are no problems with the virtual server for cadett ELSA sharing the same hardware with other virtual servers, as long as the performance requirements are met.
Please refer to the following sub-topics listed below for more details.
