Requirements for hardware and software of computers on which the HELIOS Orange system can be operated.
This is the definition of the hardware and software requirements for computers which are to run HELIOS Orange. The following configurations are the basic recommendation, i.e. the minimum required to install and operate the SQL server and HELIOS Orange. The requirements are only given with a view to the type of the operating system, the MS SQL database server and HELIOS Orange. No account is taken of additional applications that run on the station or server (other than MS Office), which inrease the hardware requirements. No account is taken either of the size of the HELIOS Orange database (this must be assed individually), which may increase hardware requirements substantially, esp. the operating memory (to run an MS SQL server, Microsoft recomends a memory size identical to the size of the database(s)).
This means HELIOS Orange is installed and runs on a single computer.
Operating system SQL | server version | Processor | Memory | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
MS Windows XP Professional SP3 | SQL 008 Express Edition SP2 nebo R2Pentium | 1,5 GHz | 2 GB | Database < 500 MB |
MS Windows 7 SP1 | SQL 2008 Express Edition SP2 nebo R2Pentium | 2 GHz | 1 GB | Database < 1 GB |
Note: If the database is expected to exceed 500MB, it is necessary to expand the memory to a minimum of 1GB/1.5GB (depending on the size of the database, we recommend you consult Asseco Solutions, a.s.)
Operating system SQL server version Processor Memory Note
Operating system | SQL server version | Processor | Memory | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
WINDOWS SVR 2008 Foundation | SQL 2008 Standard SP2 nebo R2 | 1,5 GHz | 4 GB | < 5users |
Windows 2003 SP3 | SQL 2008 Express Edition SP2 nebo R2Pentium | 2 GHz | 4 GB | |
Windows 2008 Standard SP2 nebo R2 | SQL 2008 Express Edition SP2 nebo R2Pentium | 2 GHz | 4 GB |
Note: The recommended number and performance of processors depends on the number of the IS users. The recommended operating memory depends mostly on the number and size of the DB IS – where the rule is to keep the ratio of the DB size to the server operating memory as low as possible. The choice of the version of the operating memory (32 bit vs. 64 bit, Standard x, Enterprise) depends on the number of processors and operating memory size. If there are more than 10 users of the IS and the DB IS is greater than 5GB, we recommend you consult Asseco Solutions, a.s. on the configuration
(PC users of HELIOS Orange in a computer network where HELIOS Orange is installed).
Operating system | SQL server version | Processor | Memory | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
MS Windows XP Profesional SP3 | 1 GHz | 1 GB | Installed MS Office | |
MS Windows 7 SP1 | 2 GHz | 2 GB | Installed MS Office |
Note: Even here, the database size matters. Bigger databases require bigger memory (again, we recommend you consult Asseco Solutions, a.s.) Recommended Bandwidth for Terminal Operation
The minimum graphic interface is 1024 × 768, 16 bits.
The installation and operation of MSSQL Server 2008 EXPRESS requires
The installation and operation of MSSQL Server 2008/2008R2 EXPRESS requires
The HELIOS systems communicate with the MS Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook). These are the compatible versions:
Please keep in mind that HELIOS only works with the 32-bit version of MS Office. The support for the 64-bit version of MS Office is only partial now and we recommend you consult Asseco Solutions, a.s..
For MS SQL (2008 version), the installation of SP1 is required. Fundamental errors can occur in MS SQL without the SP1 when queries are processed for HELIOS Orange.
HELIOS Orange can run on both the 32- and 64-bit environments of Windows. This is true for both the client and the server components (i.e. for Helios.exe and MS SQL server)
Operating system | server | client | Note |
---|---|---|---|
Windows XP | yes | yes | recommended edition Professional |
Windows 2003 | yes | yes | recommended Release 2 |
Windows 7 | yes | yes | recommended edition Pro; podporuje MSSQL from version 2005 |
Windows 8 | yes | yes | support MSSQL od version 2005 |
Windows 2008 R2 | ano | ano | support MSSQL od version 2005 |
HW going virtual. Both HELIOS Orange and the MS SQL Server can run through various virtual technology. Experience with going virtual has been very good so far on the following systems:
No matter where or how HELIOS Orange runs, regular updates of the MS SQL server and the operating systems are recommended (and sometimes even required).
