In order for MCS Software Products to successfully run on your District's network, certain system requirements must be met prior to installation and usage.
Windows Server:
The following Windows Servers are supported:
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2012 R2
SQL Server:
The MCS Product Line is tested on SQL Server 2014 & 2016. Any older supported versions, although not tested, will be supported as issues are identified. Newer versions will be supported as they are released.
Only the latest service pack of a given SQL Server version is supported.
The following SQL Servers are supported:
- SQL Server 2012
- SQL Server 2014
SQL Server 2016
SQL Server 2019
Backups:
Each District/District IT Department is responsible for coming up with its own backup solution.
Virtualization:
MCS HSS supports running our product suite on virtualized servers; however, it is critical that the virtualization software is properly configured for SQL server to perform satisfactorily. MCS HSS does not provide support for the virtualization environment itself.
