  1. Server infrastructure:

    1. We require a dedicated OS (server) only for FirstBIT application, we do not recommend to install any other application on the same OS. Server can be a virtual or physical. The difference, In order to have a better performance - it is recommended to have a physical server (based on our performance tests). If you are want to have more availability and redundancy you may use virtual environment and it will be more useful.

    2. We strongly recommend to have Smart UPS system, which can automatically shut down your server in case of power issue or send alert about battery failure.

    3. Disabled C-states by BIOS (in both cases VM or Hardware). C-States are saving the energy, but in other hand you are loosing the frequency and performance of CPU. 

  2. Server OS: Windows Server: 2008R2 , 2012R2, 2016 - 2022 with latest updates from Microsoft.

  3. DBMS: Microsoft SQL Server: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 (Express Editions also supported). Our software is support embedded databaseembedded database, but it only for 3 online user.

  4. Web Server: Apache 2.4 (httpd) or IIS: 8 .0, 9.0, 10.0 - 10 (included in Windows Server).

  5. Networking: For Internal Networking we recommend only the static IP.

  6. External Access:

    1. For accessing the in-house ERP\Accounting system we recommend the static public IP.

    2. For secure connection we are using SSL type of connection (for SSL connection type we require SSL certificate, also we can use Let'Encrypt free certificates).

  • CPU:

    • Less than 50 online users: Intel Core i5, i7, i9 for maximum of frequency.

    • More than 50 online users: Xeon type Processors (in case of sharing frequency beetwen between big ammount of usersamount of users Xeon technologies will be more effective).

  1. Common tasks:

    1. Disabled C-States for processor in BIOS - C0 is recomendedrecommended. Reference - https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Processor_P-states_and_C-states

  2. Hardware installation case:

    1. Configured RAID 1 or RAID 10 (prefer) for server storage. We are not working with different type of RAID. Reference - http://www.raid-calculator.com/raid-types-reference.aspx

    2. Install OS (windows server 2008R2, 2012R2 or 2016)Server OS.

    3. Install latest drivers from server Vendor on OS.

    4. Installed latest updates to OS. 

  3. Virtual Machine installation case:

    1. Import our template to Hypervisor (you can choose version in cansecase).

    2. Choose the good storage (fast and reliable, with single server installation we recommend RAID10, in case if you have special data storage's you should make decision by yourself).

    3. Changed power plan of of Hypervisor to "Hight PerfomancePerformance" option.

  4. Common tasks:

    1. Allocate static IP for local network and set it on machine.

    2. Chose the name of machine and set it to server (NetBIOS name).

    3. Provide remote access to machine by anydeskAnyDesk.

    4. Provide Local Admin or Domain Account (should be included in local admin) information to installation team.
