SOAPware v5.x Network Configurations
Work Group
With a small "Work Group" setting (10 computers or less on the network) SOAPware can be ran on a Windows 2003 and XP workstation. A peer to peer configurations is adequate. SOAPware does not demand a dedicated server in this environment. A 10base/T network is adequate, but for speed we recommend a 100/1000 network throughout. 10/100 Ethernet hubs are adequate for this environment. We also recommend, daily backups on all data. We recommend that you always backup your data daily, always include a backup device on your computer that holds your data. |
Departmental
In a Departmental environment we recommend a dedicated server with a true server operating system, such as Windows 2003. SOAPware databases can reside on any operating system that allows for the "Mapping" of a drive from the client computer. In this setting the topography of the network should be a star configuration off of a switch, with hubs no more than one layer deep, or a star system with all switches and no hubs. All the network should be of 100 or 1000MB speeds. We also recommend, daily backups on all data.

Enterprise
In an Enterprise level environment we recommend that you have a "Certified Network Engineer" configure your network. We also recommend, daily backups on all data.
