PDXpert PLM hardware and software requirements
The
PDXpert
PLM software system
consists of three major components:
- one or more clients that execute the application business rules
and provide the user experience;
- a file manager that services requests for database connection
information and file attachments, and performs product data indexing
and maintenance functions; and
- a SQL database server that manages product information.
In a single-user installation, all of these components can be
installed on one computer. Most installations, however, will have one
computer act as database and file management server, and other computers
act as clients. Very large systems may have a dedicated file library
server, separate from the database server. Servers do not have to be
dedicated exclusively to
PDXpert PLM software, although sharing resources with other applications
and functions may affect system performance.

Note PDXpert PLM server software has
only been qualified for operation in English and Chinese language versions of
Microsoft Windows and SQL Server 2005. We are currently working with interested
users on qualifying the English language PDXpert PLM software for use on other language
Windows and SQL Server 2005, and would be happy to work with you.

Database
The PDXpert application server installation file includes the Microsoft SQL 2005 Express Edition (SSEE),
which may be used in smaller systems. Larger systems may require a
higher-capacity
edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, which must be purchased separately from Microsoft.
