The programmer, designer, and sound development systems mentioned above can be developed more efficiently by being connected via a network. The network environment differs depending on the number of workers (number of machines). Specific network configurations (servers and clients) are described below according to the number of developers.

NFS server / client network environment (3-6 person configuration)

The figure below shows a case where Indy is operated as a single server / client.
