PADS Server PC
PADS Server is the pivot of your system. The requirements for the PADS Server PC are dependent on the size and usage of your installation. For large, mission critical systems we recommend to use clustering technology with RAID facilities.
PADS Scheduler/Designer PC
The PADS Scheduler and Designer application can run either on the PADS Server PC or on a separate Desktop PC. To get a good impression how your designed presentations will perform we recommend you to use a configuration for PADS Designer that is comparable with that of your PADS Viewers.
