Smart Search System Requirements
Square 9 SmartSearch has been certified on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate, and Windows 8 Professional as server platforms and Windows XP Professional, Vista, Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate, and Windows 8 Professional for clients (SmartSearch does not support Home editions). The Microsoft .NET platform is required for the operation of SmartSearch, however, it will be automatically loaded with the installation of SmartSearch along with the Microsoft SQL 2012 Express database engine.
SmartSearch is a storage independent solution. Records archived within SmartSearch can be saved to any server on the network requiring only a UNC Share path or mapped drive. SmartSearch supports the storage of records to SAN, NAS, near line optical libraries including WORM or offline to CD or DVD.
Virtual server environments are fully supported. Square 9 tests virtual environments using VMware ESX Server.
