Standalone Install
Standalone installations are better suited for low-load environments such as a development or proof of concept environment. Since all components are installed on the same physical server as the K2 Server, there are no credentials passed between servers.

Depending on the SharePoint product installed, either the MOSS, WSS, SharePoint 2010 Server or SharePoint 2010 Foundation components will be displayed for installation. |
The Standalone Installation configuration for K2 blackpearl is shown below. All K2 components, IIS, SharePoint, and the database instance are installed on the same physical platform.
Considerations for the Standalone Install
When all K2 components are installed on a single, standalone server there are performance related issues that need to be considered. Although all components on a single machine will mitigate security requirements, there will be an impact on the processing capabilities of the physical machine.
If this installation scenario is used for a development or proof of concept environment, it is recommended that additional RAM or a faster processor is used in order to maintain an acceptable level of performance.
