Snow Automation Platform 3
Automation Platform can potentially face every user in the company, making a wide range of services available for request. With low usage, where few users browse the user interface and few workflows are run, the server will not need many resources. When the number of users and executed workflows increases, so does the load on the server. With high load it may be required to deploy additional resources, and eventually to split the components of Automation Platform onto different servers (Web and Workflow engine). Automation Platform supports changing the configuration after the product has been installed. Consult Snow Software for more information when tuning the environment.
