It's here! SAP Lumira Edge Server

[Henry_Banks]

Hi Everyone,

I’m so happy that SAP Lumira Edge Server has been released to customer!  Here’s a quick overview of what we have with this initial 1.0 shipment:

This is an on-premise edition of Lumira Server for smaller teams: The Lumira Edge Server edition brings the power of a new, embedded, lightweight, in-memory acceleration engine called Velocity, whilst running on commodity hardware. This standalone server product is typically suited to Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) & Lines of Business (LoBs) and is aimed at use-cases that consume smaller datasets and have lower complexity.

• It’s quick to download at 660 Mb zipped. Once installed, the footprint on disk is 2 GB, so it’s small & cheap to host.

• The server-side installation itself takes about 5 minutes, and is super-easy as there’s only 1 input screen!

• Post-installation, there’s almost no configuration at all, and the administration is minimal.

• The Administrator creates Users from the Members screen, defines their Role (end-user / admin), then license Type (concurrent / named):

• The Administrator defines Groups for the various teams of Users:

• The Administrator assigns Users to Groups:

• Only an Administrator can end sessions from their console. Also change licenses and restart the server from the Maintenance screen:

• When Users log-on, they can view shared Lumira documents online:

• Users can edit & visualize documents online. They can also Compose stories & infographics over the web:

• Desktop installations will need to be pointed to the Edge server, via the Preferences screen:

• Local desktop documents can be saved (uploaded) from the desktop client, to the Lumira Edge Server repository:

• Saved documents can then be downloaded again from server for desktop usage, or shared with other team mates via the server:
