1- Setup a Windows Server
First you need to setup a Windows Server locally or on the Cloud. We suggest at least a server with a quad core CPU and 16GB of memory. Bioada can also provide you a prebuilt Windows server on Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS. The prebuilt server comes with Microsoft SQL Server and Bioada package.
