Server

Condition: Server, e there are less than 5 users on the network using Zavanti ERP software.

This type of installation involves multiple concurrent user licenses, or one single concurrent user license, where the application is executed on numerous workstations. The Gupta SQLBase installation and the Zavanti ERP software are both installed on one or more machines (if there are separate database and application servers). Workstations access the software via a network.

Where there are less than 5 users a single server working as both the Zavanti database server and where Zavanti programs may be installed.

If however the same server is to be used as a MS Exchange Mail Server, it is not recommended that a single server is used for all these purposes, even in a less than 5 user network. We would strongly recommend that in that situation the Zavanti database and programs to be moved to a separate server away from the MS Exchange and File & Print functions.

Once there become more than 5 users who wish to use the Zavanti ERP software suite, it is also recommended that a separate server is used to serve as both the database server and as the Zavanti application server (an application server is where the Zavanti programs are installed centrally to be accessed by the network users).

If remote access is required to run Zavanti over either dial up or broadband communications lines whether direct connect from point to point or via a VPN on the Internet, then a separate server to handle this must be set up. To complement this, a separate database server must also be set up. For networks with less than 5 remote users and 5 local users then this server can be used to serve both application server functions.
