System requirements
The WorldServer platform consists of the central application server, the relational database management system (RDBMS), the appropriate database clients, as well as the File Type Support (FTS) Server, which is used for processing translation assets.
- Requirements for the application server
The WorldServer application server is the central machine in any WorldServer deployment. This is the machine that manages all the WorldServer processes, including workflows, translation memories, and document publishing. - Requirements for the database server
WorldServer stores information about your installation (for example, your workflow definitions, translation memory, terminology database, and users) in a relational database management system. You can create the WorldServer database on the same machine as the WorldServer application server. However, you should install the database server on a dedicated machine and place applications and the content management system on other machines. - Requirements for installing Online Editor

The File Type Support (FTS) Server launcher runs as a Windows Service process and individual FTS Server instances run as Windows processes. Even though the File Type Support (FTS) Server runs only on Microsoft Windows machines, it can communicate with WorldServer installations on Windows or on Linux. The FTS Server is a 32-bit application and runs in 32-bit mode even on 64-bit machines. - Supported browsers and recommendations for client machines
Most interactions with WorldServer take place through a web browser. WorldServer provides a browser-based interface to perform tasks such as defining workflows, managing users and permissions, or translating content.
