A Performance server can run up to 35 parallel flows. Peripheral servers provide support for an additional number of parallel flows that can run. This can be a smaller number than the full Performance server, which reduces the price.

Performance and Peripheral servers have different licenses that regulate the number of threads (parallel steps) for each server.
