Sergey reminds us that Acumatica supports the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server (2014). This is the kind of stuff that you get when you go with a modern ERP platform like Acumatica. They support other modern tools like the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server. For those who don’t know what Microsoft SQL Server is, it’s the engine that powers most of the mid-market ERP systems. SAP and Oracle (the top ERP systems) have their own database engines, but most everyone else uses Microsoft SQL Server to store their data.
If you want to see Acumatica running on SQL Server 2014 for yourself (and try it out) visit this demo site I have set up for public consumption –
Wow, this is great. Thanks for the link Richard.
It’s very fast, much faster than the local copy of Acumatica that I’m running on my laptop.
Now how many ERP products out there actually let you test drive their product like this? I’d venture to say, “not many.”
Hi,
What is the user name and password to try out the demo site? Thanks.
Hi Dana,
Try this:
Username: admin
Password: 123
Also, it looks like the URL has changed. Try dropping the /Acumatica and just use http://www.smeclouderp.com
Also, it looks like there is a new URL that takes you to the same place:
http://www.tryacumatica.com/
You can use the same credentials to login.
Hi Tim,
Wow…that is very fast. What are the hardware specs that you are running the demo site on? Thanks.
I’m not sure. I don’t work for Acumatica so I don’t have any “inside scope” but I just sent a message to Richard Duffy on Twitter to see if he can answer your question:

So the site is running on Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 – there are 2 separate machines – the SQL Server box is running with 4 cores and 32 GB RAM and supports 16 Acumatica instances
The Acumatica server for http://www.tryacumatica.com (running IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012 R2) is running on 2 cores with 8 GB RAM
Thanks Richard! I didn’t realize that they were two different backends.
Thanks Richard!
