Server hardware
The following hardware is required for each IBM Document Manager server.
- Processor: 1 GHz or faster per processor
- RAM: 1 GB recommended; 512 MB minimum
- Free disk space: 250 MB

Renditioning software
IBM Document Manager Rendition Services requires software from independent software vendors to create renditions. This software must be installed on the server that is running Rendition Services.
The renditioning software that is used depends on the type of renditions that the service generates.
- To render PDF files, use Adobe Acrobat Distiller and the application that was used to create the original file
- To render TIF files and thumbnails, use Oracle Systems AutoVue client (not the Client-Server Editions or AutoVue for Java (jVue))

For all IBM Content Manager versions, both IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition and IBM Content Manager for z/OS are supported.

Client operating systems
IBM Document Manager clients require one of the following operating systems.
Recommendation: Install IBM Document Manager clients (Designer and Desktop) on client systems (Windows Vista, XP Professional, and 2000 Professional). Having IBM Document Manager clients installed on the IBM Document Manager server system can be useful while you design the Desktop and test various configuration options, but client systems provide better processor utilization for client applications than server systems do.
