General Requirements
Deployment options
You can deploy geoSCOUT™ in a variety of ways, depending on your requirements. Because it’s a Microsoft Windows application, it works well in a mixture of network and stand-alone PC environments.
For network environment deployments geoSCOUT works within:
- client/server architectures using Windows-based clients and your choice of networks and servers
- thin-client environments using technologies such as Citrix, NFuse or Windows Terminal Server.
You don’t need a Data Base Management System (DBMS) such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL*Server to run geoSCOUT. Instead, it uses a built-in data management technology to store, secure and access data.
geoSCOUT Basic Configuration
| geoLOGIC has increased the basic configuration requirements to run geoSCOUT. We have also added an optimum category for using advanced features. |
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista
- Pentium-class processor (AMD or Intel great than 1.5 GHz)
- 1024 MB RAM
- 64MB Video Card
- Minimum Video Resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels
- Single or Dual monitor support
- High Speed Internet
geoSCOUT Technical User
(Cross Section and Advanced Features)
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista
- Pentium-class processor (AMD or Intel greater than 2 GHz)
- 2048 MB RAM
- 256MB Video Card
- Dual monitor support
- High Speed Internet
Note: If your company is running a proxy server you will have to add the preceding two IP addresses to your trusted sites. 209.82.114.93 (for MJ Logs as well as the geoRASTERS) and 65.110.165.167( for geoRASTERS failover at Q9).
Networked stations require 20 MB of available hard disk space for program files and 200 MB of free space for temporary file swapping. Standalone stations require up to 5GB of available hard disk space for program and data files and 200 MB of free space for temporary file swapping.
File Storage Consideration
For a network environment, consider the amount of people who will use geoSCOUT and the advanced features each person will use such as Cross Section or multiple overlay files. Cross Section files require more storage space and overlay files can contain large graphics. Each person should have at least 1GB of extra storage space on a network location. Standalone stations should have at least 1GB of extra storage space for project files and Cross Sections.
Best Practices
All projects should be stored in separate folders. Each Cross Section should be stored in a separate folder under its respective project folder.
