bullet LAN Installation

Minimum Network Requirements:
In a Local Area Network environment, ISIS will utilize any network operating system that supports file and record locking, including Windows 2000 Server, Windows NT Server, and Novell NetWare. A Fileserver is required for storing shared data, shared configuration files and record locking information. The application itself will be installed on the fileserver.

Fileserver must have a minimum of 100 MB of available Hard Drive Space.

ISIS reads a user’s login name from a Microsoft 2000 or NT Server. If other Network Operating Systems are used, the user may be required to enter their name when launching ISIS.

Recommended Network Server Requirements:
Pentium III 600 mhz or higher
Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 2
256 MB RAM or higher
Tape Backup drive running Veritas Backup Exec

WAN Installation

Limited WAN connectivity can be added simply by providing pcAnywhere access to a networked workstation. You would need one workstation for each simultaneously connected WAN user.

Windows 2000 Server includes administrative use of Terminal Services, which would provide the same functionality as pcAnywhere, except that it runs on the Fileserver itself. You are limited to two simultaneous connections and the user is executing the application directly on the fileserver itself.

For a production WAN environment with many simultaneous users, ISIS supports Windows Terminal Server running with or without Citrix MetaFrame.

Citrix MetaFrame improves the performance and flexibility of Microsoft Terminal Services. It includes the ability to Web-enable applications so that end users can connect via a Web Browser to run their applications.

A WAN environment assumes one or more types of connectivity, typically DSL or T1 internet access for the server. The server can also support direct modem dial-in connections for users without internet access.

On the client side, you would need either direct or dialup access to the internet, or in the case of a direct dialup connection, you would simply need a modem and phone line.

Microsoft Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame demand a high end server. For a network that will support 25 simultaneous connections, you will need a Pentium 1.0 Ghz server with two processors and at least 500 MB of RAM.
