HELIOS Nephrite

Technical information

The recommended configuration of the technological environment for operating the HELIOS Nephrite company information system includes the sections described further on. Any changes to these recommendations shall be discussed with the supplier in advance. The manufacturer or supplier does not guarantee proper system operation if the HELIOS Green information software is run on computer systems that do not meet these recommendations.

HELIOS Nephrite technological requirements


Database server

  • Windows 2008/2012 Server (version based on the required HW configuration), with current service pack installed
  • MS SQL 2008/2012 Server (version based on the required HW configuration), with current service pack installed

PC users

  • Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 with current service pack installed
  • Office XP or Office 2008 with current service pack installed

Application server (HELIOS Nephrite on Microsoft .NET platform)

  • Windows 2008/2012 Server (version based on the required HW configuration), with current service pack installed
  • IIS with ASP .NET and .NET Framework 4.0 support

Remote access options (user access from locations outside of the local computer network in which HELIOS Nephrite is installed - on line operation = users working with the same data - database, applications and servers for operation are installed at company headquarters)

  • Terminal operation - Microsoft Windows 2008 terminal services, or with Citrix Metaframe expansion
  • Connecting locations with VPN networks, or via the Internet
  • The recommended connection speed designated for access to Helios Green is 128 kbps/1 user
  • Server terminal and application server installation at company headquarters
  • HELIOS Green Winclient installation on server terminal
  • Terminal client installation on user PCs in remote location
  • Operation only with application server
  • Connecting locations with VPN networks, or via the Internet
  • Application server installation at the company headquarters
  • Recommended connection speed for:
  • 1 user = about 256 kbps
  • 5 users = about 512kbps
  • 20 users = about 1Mbps
  • 50 users = about 2Mbps

Computer network

  • UTP cables, 10/100Mbps
  • Server connection with a speed of 100 Mbps (or 1Gbps)
  • User computer connection with a speed of 100 Mbps (10Mbit in exceptional cases)

Printers

HP laser or ink printers

Minimum server and user PC configuration

The requirements are only provided with respect to the type of operation system, HELIOS Nephrite and MY SQL database server. Other applications running on the PC or server (besides MS Office on the PC), which increase hardware demands, are not considered. The size and number of HELIOS Green databases (evaluated on an individual basis), which can significantly affect hardware server demands, the size of memory in particular have also not been considered.

Server

Note

specific server configuration is based on the number of users, number and size of databases and other client requirements defined within the developed technical study (see note below) for deploying HELIOS Green by Asseco Solutions, a.s.

the OS and SQL versions must be defined based on the selected HW configuration - Standard vs. Enterprise, winx32 vs. x64 platform  

Standard SQL server - for < 50 users and the sum of all database sizes < 15 GB, we recommend a server that can accommodate 2 processors (P4 min 2 GHz) and 4 GB RAM (full configuration not required from very start, however, the server must support this configuration - HW can be gradually upgraded based on load).

Standard SQL server - for > 50 users and the sum of all database sizes > 15 GB, we recommend a server that can accommodate 4 processors (P4 min 2 GHz) and 8 GB RAM (full configuration not required from very start, however, the server must support this configuration - HW can be gradually upgraded based on load)

User station

Technical study

As part of the HELIOS Nephrite implementation, Asseco Solutions, a.s. can develop a Technical Study at the client's request as a paid service. The study contains information about the client's computer network configuration (acquired during consultations with the client's network administrator), a detailed description of HW and SW requirements for HELIOS Green, the feasibility of these requirements and specific recommendations for updating the client's network HW and SW configuration for IS HELIOS Green.
