Deployment Requirements
Distributed Deployment

The system is distributed, which allows deployment in various environments. The software’s modular design allows arbitrary division of storage space and processing power between different computers located either at a central location or dispersed among regional offices.

The following benefits of the distributed approach can be identified:

• scalability: More computers can be added to the cluster to increase performance;
• failover: Failed computers are automatically excluded from the operation; the remaining computers handle the extra load;
• cost-efficiency: Normal computers can be used for the server environment; they can be utilized as ordinary client machines when the load on the server cluster is low;
• high throughput: The distributed environment efficiently utilizes network resources in the production environment; cached data on the server reduces load on the database, allowing for higher throughput of the system.

Server Component Requirements

To run the server side of the Giselle system, the following components are required:

• Database server, compatible with standard data-exchange protocols (ODBC, JDBC, etc.);
• Java Virtual Machine v. 1.4.1 or higher;
• Web server.

Client Component Requirements

• The requirements of the client side are minimal: the user just needs a web browser using Java Virtual machine 1.4.1 or higher.
• The hardware requirements depend on the scale of the application data that is to be processed.
