Insight works with Microsoft SharePoint to help you manage your Solid Edge documents. SharePoint is a collaborative workspace tool designed to easily find, manage, and share information in a rich, customizable dashboard site to enable you to locate, write, review, and manage content in your organization. SharePoint works closely with other tools such as Windows Explorer and web browsers to help you manage your documents.
Your server farm is a collection of servers, services, databases, and other infrastructure components that comprise your SharePoint and Insight implementation. Typically, the various servers in the farm have roles such as responding to users of the portal (web front end servers), hosting index servers, query servers, and other services of SharePoint (application servers), and hosting the backend database for SharePoint (SQL servers).
The Insight Server is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. It is vital that you select the correct server software for your configuration.
