MEDITRAXTM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATING SYSTEMS

Workstations:

We recommend a Windows XP / 2000 / NT operating system. These are remarkably more stable than their predecessors. MediTrax has not been fully tested on Windows Vista workstations.

File Server:

Whether you require a single workstation, a local area network (LAN) within your facility, a wide area network (WAN) for remote data entry, or a multi-site installation, you won't outgrow the capacity of MediTrax to handle virtually unlimited records in its data tables. If you don't operate on a network now but might wish to in the future, we're ready to grow with you ... so you can start using MediTrax today with the power of true integrated data management for the future!

MediTrax has been successfully tested and used on a variety of NetWare- and NetBios-compatible LAN / WAN software platforms as well as Windows NT and Windows 2000 server software, XP peer-to-peer networking, and a variety of wireless network platforms. MediTrax utilizes record locking and data integrity functions which are fully NetBios-compatible. The executable program file may be stored either on the file server, or on each individual workstation in a client-server configuration to minimize network bandwidth.

Note that MediTrax does not require a Network Operating System to implement its use over a network. For definition purposes, a Network Operating System (NOS) is a software program that

  • controls a network and its message (e.g., packet) traffic and queues
  • controls access by multiple users to network resources such as files
  • provides for certain administrative functions, including security.

    A Network Operating System is not the same as the peer-to-peer networking tools provided by some existing OSs (Windows XP, for example). An NOS (such as Windows Server 2003) is an OS that has been specifically written to keep networks running at optimal performance. MediTrax has been tested in Windows Server NT, 2000, and 2003 environments. According to Microsoft, Windows Server 2003 R2 is more scalable and delivers better performance than its predecessor, Windows 2000. Windows Server 2008 (with Vista support) is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2008.
