The following table outlines detailed system requirements for EMS Lite Version 8.0. A database server is recommended, however Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be loaded on a designated desktop machine for small, workgroup deployments. The desktop client software is designed for facility schedulers, event coordinators, salespeople, service providers and administrators.
Virtual EMS Lite is the optional web-based extension of EMS Lite, which is designed for your customers, meeting attendees, campus community, general public and people making reservation requests. Virtual EMS Lite requires network access to the EMS Lite database server. Although we recommend separate servers (database vs. web), small-scale environments may be able to use a single server for both purposes.
