System Requirements

InterMapper Flows requires a fairly powerful computer: both processor power and the amount of RAM are important considerations. Although you may perform initial testing using a VM (virtual machine) environment, we do not recommend that you use a VM in production because the performance is frequently not good enough.

InterMapper Flows benefits from having a large amount of RAM for its database cache. Use a 64-bit Macintosh, Linux, or Unix system to allocate more than 1.5 GBytes of RAM for the cache; a 64-bit Windows version is not currently available.
