Nuance ScanFlowStore™ System Requirements

These recommendations are based on tests performed with 300 dpi black and white scans. The test workflow utilised optical character recognition (OCR) and stored the documents in a Windows folder that was located on the same server where the ScanFlowStore application was loaded.

Small (approximately 1,000 scanned pages a day)*

• Intel Pentium dual-core 2.5 GHz processor
• 2 GB of RAM
• 800 MB free disk space
• Non-dedicated server--other applications may run concurrently with the ScanFlowStore application
• Windows XP SP3 or
• Windows Server 2003 or
• Windows Server 2008

Medium-Large (maximum of 10,000 scanned pages a day)*

• Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz processor
• 3 GB of RAM
• 2 GB free disk space
• Dedicated server--no other applications may run concurrently with the ScanFlowStore application
• Windows XP SP2 or
• Windows Server 2003 or
• Windows Server 2008

Enterprise (maximum of 20,000 scanned pages a day)*
20,000 scanned pages a day is the maximum one server can process. When more than 20,000 scanned pages must be processed per day, the load must be spread out between multiple servers.

• Intel Xeon 3.4 GHz processor
• 6 GB of RAM
• 4 GB free disk space
• Dedicated server--no other applications may run concurrently with the ScanFlowStore application
• Windows Server 2003 or
• Windows Server 2008

* Please note that additional image processing features like Barcode reading, Deskew, Despeckle, Blank page removal and Auto-rotate will decrease processing time by 20 percent to 35 percent.

Maximum number of MFPs per ScanFlowStore server

The number of MFPs managed by one server is irrelevant. What is critical is the number of scanned pages that are delivered to the server per day. It doesn’t matter if, for example, 20 MFPs each deliver 1,000 pages a day, or if 1,000 MFPs each deliver 20 pages a day.
