For researchers, it is more important to know that software will work in their environment, rather than simply in an ideal scenario. To accommodate users' different needs, PEAKS offers both desktop and server solutions, including:

• PEAKS Studio - complete desktop solution
• PEAKS Online - server/cluster workhorse
• PEAKS Viewer - free result viewing

More information about the different types of PEAKS Solutions can be seen here.

There is certainly more than just scalability to be aware of when defining an environment. Here are just a few questions to consider:

• Who in the lab will use the software and how will they interact with it?
• Are there other users who may want to see the results, such as core lab customers?
• How much detail can be obtained/observed in the results?
• Is the software perpetual/annual? - PEAKS is perpetual... meaning yours forever. Upgrades are available as part of the Service Plan Subscription.
• How does one software compare to another, benchmarking?
