| + | In principle any version of Windows + Internet Information Server (IIS) will do. We've got the software to | ||
| + | run on IIS Express edition for demonstration purposes. We offer the following formal guidelines: | ||

| + | === Additional comments regarding SQLServer === | ||
| + | SQL Server Express can be used but poses two limitations which have to be taken into account: | ||
| + | * The maximum database size cannot exceed 10GB. | ||
| + | * Only one CPU core is used to execute queries. | ||

| - | === Additional comments regarding SQLServer === | + | === Security considerations === |
| - | SQL Server Express can be used but poses two limitations which have to be taken into account: | + | PMA.core does not offer any intrusion detection system. When installing the system on premises, it is highly recommended to review the security policies of the host computer and the network it belongs to and configure it accordingly. |
| - | - The maximum database size cannot exceed 10GB. | + | |
| - | - Only one CPU core is used to execute queries. | + | === Date and time configuration === |
| + | PMA.core relies on the host computer's date and time for all operations that involve the current time, such as logging events. Hence, in order for the system to operate correctly and reliably, it is mandatory to configure the system's time correctly and have it periodically sync with a time server. | ||

| When possible, it is recommended to prefer [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-introduction|Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2]] over plain Azure Blob Storage, as this type of service performs directory management operations, such as moving and renaming slides and directories, a lot faster. | When possible, it is recommended to prefer [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-introduction|Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2]] over plain Azure Blob Storage, as this type of service performs directory management operations, such as moving and renaming slides and directories, a lot faster. | ||
| + | === PMA.core cache requirements === | ||
| + | Regardless of the choice or combination of the storage media used, the system requires some space on | ||
| + | a local or network disk where cache data will be stored and accessed. PMA.core allows you to define | ||
| + | the cache retention policy and informs you about it's size. As a general rule of thumb, the cache | ||
| + | capacity should be around 10% of the total size of the available whole slide images. | ||
