This section describes the system requirements to install the VirtualViewer® HTML5 ICN Connector.

The VirtualViewer hardware requirements are highly dependent on user load, number of unique file views, types of files, and other configuration and usage details. In addition, when using VirtualViewer in conjunction with another application (ICN, Custom application etc.), it’s important to ensure that resources are sufficiently provisioned for the hosting application so that it will not have to compete for resources needed by the VirtualViewer.

The table below provides guidelines on hardware requirements. Please note that the tables below provide information which is to be used only as recommended guidelines for deployment planning.

Precise requirements may only be determined after reviewing and analyzing the performance requirements and the infrastructure availability for a given project. Please contact Accusoft Professional Services for additional help.
