32-bit vs. 64-bit
StudyTRAX is completely compatible with 64-bit operating systems, however you must specify that the application pool run in 32-bit mode. This is due to some 3rd party libraries used by StudyTRAX and should be addressed in future versions to allow full blown 64-bit access.
Software Requirements
- Windows Server 2003 (Windows Server 2008 Recommended)
- 64-bit supported on Windows Server 2008
- IIS 7.0
- ASP.NET Runtime v4.0
- MS SQL Server 2008 or 2012 (Web edition or better).
Hardware Requirements
It is common that the database and web server co-exist on the same server. However, there are reasons why it is preferable to have the database on a seperate server, such as when the database is on a shared environment. Thus, both requirements are listed.
Web Server
- RAM: 1 GB (2 GB Recommended)
- CPU: 1.6+ GHZ
- Hard Drive: 250 MB
Web Server + Database Server
- RAM: 2 GB (4 GB Recommended)
- CPU: 1.6+ GHZ (Dual Core)
Database Size Formula:
((# of Projects * # of Subjects * # of Intervals * # of Variables * 100)
+ (# of Projects * # of Subjects * # of Project Variables * 100)) * 1.1
Examples:
# of Projects |
# of Subjects (per project) |
# of Encounters |
Approx. # of Variables (per encounter) |
