Running under Virtualization#

Scanshare server is supported in the most common virtual hardware environments, such as Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle VM VirtualBox, VMWare and QEMU.

Hardware Recommendations#

The hardware requirements for the Scanshare server will depend greatly on the operating system selected, desired performance and workload placed onto it. Suggested configurations are as follows:

	Suggested minimum	Recommended
CPU	Dual Core	Quad Core
Memory	4GB RAM	8GB RAM
Disk Space	80GB	160GB SSD
Network	100Mb	1Gb
Handling	Scalable	Scalable

Many components in the Scanshare server are multithreaded, or designed to run as a separate process. Therefore these components may benefit from multicore-enabled operating systems and hardware; the client communication process and various CPU-intensive functions (such as the optical character recognition module) are examples of such components.
