DocuWare

Plan an Azure-hosted DocuWare on-premises deployment

Separate supported Windows VM hosting from assumptions about Azure-native storage and database services.

Applies to

DocuWare on-premises. 7.8–7.12.

What to check

Running the on-premises product in Azure is different from using DocuWare Cloud. The source describes Windows Server virtual machines and limits its support statements to configurations DocuWare has tested.

Practical steps

Check the exact release and proposed VM topology against the vendor's supported configuration.
Do not substitute Azure SQL or Blob Storage for the database and document-storage design described in this KBA.
For distributed servers on these releases, review messaging carefully: Azure networking does not supply the multicast behavior expected by the older MSMQ arrangement.

Confirm the result

Validate the complete topology before deployment. Messaging changed in later DocuWare versions, so obtain current release guidance rather than carrying this older design forward unchanged.
