Question

Is it possible to deploy FlexiCapture 12 Distributed in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)?

Answer

It is legitimate to use Google Cloud Platform virtual machines for FlexiCapture 12 on-premises installation to deploy FlexiCapture 12 complex components, as any other allowed virtual machines. Such kind of installation does not violate FlexiCapture 12 specifications.

However, special features of Google Cloud Platform are not supported. Note that the same is true for special features of Microsoft Azure and Amazon Cloud, which are listed in FlexiCapture 12 specifications.

Google Cloud Platform virtual machines have not yet been tested by the FlexiCapture 12 product team, so they are not added to the specification. However, there are some examples of using them by clients with no specific issues.

Also, it is known to use Google Cloud Platform virtual machines with other ABBYY DataCapture products: Recognition Server 4, FineReader Server 14.
