# Basics

The following provides you with basic information about the ELO environment.

Please note

General note on using third-party software:

Regularly check third-party software for security vulnerabilities. Whenever possible, always use the latest compatible version of the third-party software.

# Difference between ELOprofessional and ELOenterprise

  • In terms of operating systems, ELOprofessional only supports Microsoft Windows. By contrast, ELOenterprise is platform-independent.
  • Unlike ELOenterprise, ELOprofessional is not multi-tenant capable.
  • ELOprofessional systems are only cluster-ready to a certain extent. They only allow for hot standby operation of individual components. ELOenterprise systems, however, are fully cluster-ready.
  • With ELOprofessional, server processes may only be distributed within the same host, i.e. on a server system. By contrast, with ELOenterprise processes can be distributed across multiple hosts (VMs or physical servers).
  • With ELOprofessional, the ELO server components (e.g. ELOas) can be distributed across multiple Tomcat servers as long as they are located on one server system (VM or physical server). In contrast, with ELOenterprise, Tomcat servers can be installed on multiple server systems (VMs or physical servers).
