Special configurations Ultimo has been tested with a standard network and IIS configuration. For use of a special URL rerouting/bridging/gateway or VPN settings, an on-site test is advised to determine the proper operation. We will do our best to support these configurations.

Examples of special configurations:

  • Forefront Threat Management Gateway
  • Forefront Unified Access Gateway
  • Barracuda Web Filter
  • ADVSoft ProxyInspector
Security
  • The client IP address will be logged when a login attempt fails.
Hardware
  • Minimal requirement is an entry-level server in accordance with market standards as offered in 2012 or later.
  • The minimal memory usage of the Ultimo web server is 500 MB.

In case of specific configurations, please inquire.

Virtualisation
  • In daily practice we regularly experience performance issues with the dynamic allocation of resources on a virtual machine. Therefore Ultimo requires a static allocation of these resources. This applies to the Application Server as well as the Database Server.

4.3 Ultimo services

As well as operating Ultimo on the internet information server, a number of supporting Ultimo services are needed. These services can be installed either on the web server or on other servers.

    A SMTP server is required when using emails

We recommend at least 500 MB of memory for the Ultimo Service Host.

Ultimo CAD service This optional service supports viewing 2D CAD drawings. The memory use of this service highly depends on intensity of use.
