Production Environment

Notes: These requirements are for a standard system configuration. The actual configuration and number of machines will differ based on the use case, the number of files to be posted, the total number of users in the system, the number of concurrent users, and other factors.

If you are working through a VPN and/or accessing Evolve from a remote location, we recommend an internet speed of at least 10 MbPS (for both download and upload speeds). We also recommend that any latency between your browser and the Evolve server be less than 100 milliseconds. Slower internet connections can cause performance issues and in some cases timeout errors.

Database details:

SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines allows a customer to run SQL Server inside a virtual machine in the Azure cloud. It is supported with all versions of Evolve and Studio Manager, from the first versions (20.0) to the most current versions.
Azure SQL Managed Instance is an IaaS offering from Microsoft which will be supported with Evolve 20.2 and Studio Manager 20.2 and all subsequent versions of those two products.
Azure SQL Database is a PaaS offering built on standardized hardware and software that is owned, hosted, and maintained by Microsoft. Winshuttle does not support it and currently has no plans to support it.
