P4 DAM components

P4 DAM requires the following components:

• P4 Server – Tracks and manages changes to all your digital assets in a single, secure location. Assets available in P4 DAM are stored on a P4 Server.
• Elasticsearch instance – P4 DAM uses P4 Search in conjunction with Elasticsearch to index asset information used to search for assets.
• P4 Search – An API used by P4 DAM to search and automatically tag your assets.
• P4 DAM – A web-based interface that streamlines the process of finding, reviewing, using, repurposing, and sharing assets. Install P4 DAM using the P4 DAM packages. To administer P4 DAM, use the web-based P4 DAM admin UI. See Operating system requirements for a list of supported operating systems.
