Server backup and restoring.
In addition, customers must be knowledgeable in the setup, configuration, management and monitoring of the Tomcat Java Application Server.
Hardware Requirements
It is not possible to specify hardware requirements within this document as the sizing of the system depends on things such as number of employees being scheduled, the number of jobs being scheduled, the workflow used for those jobs, etc.
ServicePower strongly recommends that you work with our consultancy team to determine the hardware requirements for your specific ServiceSWAT use case.
