Chapter 1 -Overview and Forecast <br />CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW AND FORECAST <br />This document covers a diverse set of topics ranging from product architecture information, approval for <br />Microsoft platforms, security and support communications, system component hardware and third party software <br />and system restart checklists. This is intended as the primary reference point for system administrators and <br />system planners. This information includes previously released information from a variety of documents <br />including the Site Preparation Guide and Support Connectivity Guide and the Platform Planning Document. <br />In many cases, more detailed information is listed in product documentation and release notes and may change <br />from version to version. <br />This document will be updated periodically and made available to all customers. <br />This document supersedes all previous versions of the Site Preparation Guide and Support Connectivity Guide, <br />Site Preparation Guide or Site Prep Guide issued by TriTech. These docmnents are referenced by TriTech license <br />agreements. This document also supersedes all previous versions of the Platform Planning Document. <br />2.1 INFORM CAD OVERVIEW <br />An Inform CAD system operates across multiple software tiers and server -based or workstation -based <br />environments. Physically, these are deployed across the following components: <br />1 Inform CAD Database Server <br />/ Inform CAD Business Servers <br />/ Inform CAD Interface Servers <br />/ Inform CAD Workstations <br />The Inform CAD System operates through the interaction of several applications, software services and database <br />components that are spread across a multi -tier architecture. As this section will explain, these applications, <br />services and components can be distributed in different ways across a mix of computers. <br />In its simplest terms, the following core principles explain the architecture of Inform CAD: <br />/ Database Server - Generally, data is stored in the databases housed on the Production Database Server. This <br />includes incident, activity and setup information. Workstations, interfaces and subsystems such as Mobile <br />and Browser update data into these databases either directly or through an intermediate business server. The <br />Database Server also performs the file server function via the Inform CAD share and also performs some <br />functional transactions through stored procedures activated in support of workstation, business server or <br />interface server transactions. <br />— Data stored outside of Inform CAD databases include routing data and other mapping layers stored in <br />files on the Inform CAD share (server and workstation) and some setup data on the Inform Mobile <br />Server. <br />The contents of this material are confidential and proprietary to TriTech Software Systems, Inc. and may not be reproduced, <br />published or disclosed to others without the prior written consent of TriTech Software Systems, Inc. <br />02015 TriTech Software Systems <br />
