Introduction

Moveware operates successfully on a wide array of network infrastructures. We can assist in determining the adequacy of existing hardware and communications. The final specification will depend on a number of factors including other required functions of the Server, PCs and network. Many of our clients are increasingly deciding to operate in a Terminal Server environment. This may have the added benefits of reducing administration costs and allowing remote branches and users to log in remotely over WAN communications of sufficient bandwith. As a guide the suggested minimum hardware specifications are:-

Server Hardware

Client Workstations

Note: The above specifications are a minimum only. Moveware is compatible with Microsoft Windows Server™ 2008 editions (32 and 64 bit), Microsoft Windows Vista™ Business (32 and 64 bit) and or above and Microsoft Windows 7™ Professional or above (32 and 64 bit).

Network

Minimum 100BaseT Ethernet network that supports TCP/IP networking protocols.

Remote Access

In order for Moveware to install, maintain and support a company’s system, a broadband Internet connection to the Moveware Database Server is required. A Windows user account with at least local Administrator access on the server and preferably Domain Administrator Access (if applicable) is required to correctly install Moveware. This is also required to install, maintain and support the Web Services features of Moveware. Reliable, on demand remote access is also needed, for example Microsoft Terminal Server or Windows Remote Desktop connection.

These products are to be supplied by Customer at its expense.

Backups

To facilitate effective backups, a CD backup, a tape backup or a removable drive solution such as an external USB drive is recommended.

As part of the implementation, Moveware sets up a scheduled backup of the running database that can be scheduled as required and also copied to another location on the company network.

Printing

Moveware prints to virtually any windows printer. It allows print options to be customized for each user, so that different print jobs can be sent to different printers. We recommend the use of network printers rather than printers attached to client PCs. For remote printing we recommend using IP printing.

As part of the implementation Moveware installs its own PDF generator called Moveware PDF. This is a licensed version of the popular CutePDF software PDF printer.
