About Obtaining Required Hardware for the Document Server
The Document Server is supported only on Windows operating systems because Microsoft Office runs only on the Windows operating system. For information about the supported Windows operating systems, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.
To maintain stability and performance, the Document Server must run on a dedicated host computer. The Siebel Server on this computer must host one instance of the Siebel eDocuments component group. No other components can be running other than required system components.
The Document Server can run successfully on a computer that meets the minimum hardware requirements for a Siebel installation. For example, you can use a two-processor computer.
To support more users, you can run additional instances of the Siebel eDocuments component group on additional dedicated host computers.
