AIMS-LAN System Specifications
Dedicated Server
The following hardware and software
specifications are recommended for a dedicated AIMS server. If the server is not dedicated and other applications
will run on the server in addition to AIMS, the server will have to be upgraded
in size and capacity to handle the additional throughput and possible
contention with other applications
Concurrent Users
The hardware configuration is specified for
less than fifty (50) concurrent users and less than one-hundred (100) connected
users. The number of connected users
(user access points) is a function of the database purchased by the user and
not a function of the AIMS application.
(AIMS application users are unlimited after the purchase of fifty (50)
AIMS User Licenses.)
Wide-Area Network (WAN)
This recommended hardware specification
does not take into account the compensation that may be required for
degradation in the users’ WAN.
Therefore, the WAN environment is out of scope for this hardware
specification. However, the user should
thoroughly understand their WAN environment for impact of latency and
throughput and consider increasing network and hardware capacity to help
compensate for contention in the WAN conduit.
ODBC
AIMS is ODBC (Open Data
Base Connectivity) compatible. This
allows AIMS to be accessed through ODBC and to interface with any other ODBC
standard software package.

AIMS
can be installed in a single-user or multi-user environment over a LAN or
WAN. With the AIMS-LAN Complete
Corporate System (CCS), multiple sites can share the same database with individual
facilities secured data. Any of the AIMS
systems can be licensed for use on multiple databases to accommodate
department-specific requirements.
Installation is simple by setting the ODBC driver to point to the
current database.
