https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/File-and-BIM-server-on-same-machine/m-p/186952#M4580 There are a lot of variables to think about re. this question:<BR /> -will the server be running exchange as well as file sharing? (Exchange is a lot more demanding than just sharing files)<BR /> -will the server be doing print server duties? (Big print jobs routing through this machine may affect network)<BR /> -what sizes of files are you using? (see following comments)<BR /> <BR /> My (limited) understanding of TW2 is that it opens a TW2 file (1+x) times, where x=number of concurrent users. I.e. if all 5 of you are doing TW2 files that is the equivalent of 6+ files open. Its not quite the same as regular AC as its not processing 3D views or anything - rather TW2 is monitoring who has what and compiling all changes back into the main file (this is all invisible to us though).<BR /> In short the resources required can get big quickly. Maybe give it a go and see what happens? In 14 they updated the Control Centre so one can monitor resources - which will be a great tool for you to see if the resources are maxing out - and you can do it all from your desktop....<BR /> If you do, let us know how it works out! <E><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></E> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:24:01 GMT Anonymous 2010-08-06T23:24:01Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/File-and-BIM-server-on-same-machine/m-p/186951#M4579 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I am just planing to improve my AC based office,<BR /> big jobs are finally arrived (tnx God)<BR /> so we will move to TW2 and 64bit AC<BR /> and we are planing to add file server to our office network.<BR /> <BR /> So, is it ok to have file server and BIM server on same machine?<BR /> <BR /> We are small office,<BR /> up to 5 people working at a time, usually less</T></DIV> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:10:40 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/File-and-BIM-server-on-same-machine/m-p/186951#M4579 Anonymous 2010-08-06T20:10:40Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/File-and-BIM-server-on-same-machine/m-p/186952#M4580 There are a lot of variables to think about re. this question:<BR /> -will the server be running exchange as well as file sharing?
