[AWIPS #KGF-869770]: Fwd: [gembud] Unidata AWIPS II 14.2.1 status update

Hi Mark,

Thank you for contacting us about the beta program.

I will be releasing the EDEX data server and the CAVE client as two separate 
packages for the beta.  While your 8 GB machine meets the specs for a CAVE 
workstation, that amount of memory is too low for EDEX, as the server will be 
running two JVMs at about 2 GB of memory each, plus PostgreSQL and the Qpid 
message broker.

It may be that Unidata offers a remote EDEX server for our beta testers to 
connect to, which would allow you to install the CAVE client without installing 
the resource-heavy EDEX data server.  Don't hold me to that, there's still a 
lot of work to do. I'll know more about this in the next few weeks after we 
test multiple remote connections.
