Please note that the following are recommendations for installing and demonstrating SEP sesam. The software works on practically any platform, Linux, Unix or Microsoft. Please see our website for a more detailed listing. In addition, we prefer to install on a physical test server, we can also install on a virtual machine. Please make sure any firewalls can be dealt with and in the event of an install on Windows please make sure your Virus protection is disabled before we start the demonstration.
