What operating systems are supported?

Although there is not currently a 64-bit version of StrataSearch, the existing 32-bit version has been fully tested and is supported for use on 64-bit operating systems.

What are the machine requirements?
Due to the heavy demands StrataSearch places on a computer, a faster operating system is always a benefit. Multiple-cores in particular can greatly increase the processing speed. However, for standard processing, 1GB of RAM is recommended as well as 1GB of available disk space. 1024 x 768 screen resolution is also required.

Does StrataSearch support multiple processors?

The benefit of multiple processors is dependant on the type of system being evaluated, with larger sectors receiving the greatest performance benefits.
