Hi Jesse,

Your server will be able to run a standalone AWIPS II EDEX data server (which 
includes the LDM), but I think any more than that (McIDAS, IDV, GEMPAK) would 
be too much of a resource load for this machine.  Best to isolate EDEX/LDM on a 
dedicated machine and install CAVE clients on separate user workstations - that 
is where GEMPAK, IDV and McIDAS can (may? :) co-exist well with CAVE, but 
definitely not on the server.

Hope this answers your question.

Best,

Michael James
