Software CoexistenceSoftware CoexistenceOmniRush Server
Below are listed some popular software combinations. Note that these applications can all coexist on one network, the only issue is that certain combinations on a single PC may be problematic. Also note that in some cases (e.g. GoldMine Everywhere Server), the other software publisher (e.g. FrontRange) has specified that their software should run on a dedicated system. Running several server applications concurrently on one PC can tax the system hardware, and in some cases can conflict. The list below is for known combinations.
Note: Z-Firm recommends that existing production systems have a restore-able image created (using a tool like Ghost) before installing OmniRush or any other software on production systems.

[1] Watch overall system loading when using a single PC for OmniRush and SQL Server. If either the SQL Server or OmniRush will be heavily loaded they should have dedicated PC's.
[2] OmniRush v5.1 and higher should be able to coexist with Exchange v5.x and higher.
[3] OmniRush has been run on the Microsoft CRM server in both SBS and regular Win2000 and Win2003 environments. For production environments, check for sufficient hardware resources.
[4] BDE resources may need adjustment to allow concurrent operation. Heavily used systems may find that BDE resources are taxed to the point of forcing the system to be dedicated.
