    Notes:

    1. All workstations and server require TCP/IP networking installed.

    2. Remote access or multiple offices accessing a common database will require a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or other TCP/IP based network connection.

    3. i-Trax recommends all systems to have a firewall/router installed to prevent unauthorized access to project data.

    4. Our tech support will require that the latest versions of all service packs for the operating system, database and MS Office be installed on the computer running the application.

    *Windows 98 SE may be required for use of the Desktop Search

    **Use of the IIS Web server on Windows XP is limited to 10 concurrent users accessing the database. This will generally accommodate an office with 15-20 staff, depending on frequency of database usage.

    *** MSDE is not recommended for organizations with a large number of users. If more than 5 concurrent users are anticipated a full feature database such as PostgreSQL, mySQL, or Microsoft SQL is recommended
