System Requirements
Minimum Hardware Requirements:
- Pentium III 800Mhz or higher (server configuration)
- 256 MB RAM
- 30 GB Hard Drive
- Internet Connection
Minimum Software Requirements:
- Windows 2000/XP or Linux
- Relational Database Engine
WebTELUS can connect to any database. By default, we use MySQL because it is free of charge. However, if your organization is already using other database software (such as SQL Server, Oracle, MSAccess), WebTELUS can interface with those databases as well.
- Formula One E-Reporting Engine
This software package is required for building and publishing reports on the Web. It needs to be obtained and installed on the web server by the user. General cost of the software platform required to generate reports in WebTELUS includes one-time purchase charge of $6,000 (which includes 25% discount for WebTELUS users) and additional fee of $1,000 for annual support. For sales and product information please contact the vendor, Actuate Corporation, http://www.actuate.com, and mention NJIT and WebTELUS to obtain the 25% discount. (Disclaimer: NJIT does not have any interest in the Actuate Corp.)
- ArcIMS 4 or higher
ArcIMS provides dynamic GIS and mapping capabilities via the Web. It is required for WebTELUS interactive GIS. If your organization does not have a user license for ArcIMS it needs to purchase it. You will need to install the ArcIMS engine on your web server to host WebTELUS website. For sales and product information please contact the vendor, ESRI, http://www.esri.com. General price for the ArcIMS platform required to support WebTELUS GIS is in the range of $10,000-$12,000 depending on the type of license selected by the user. There is no annual support fee for the ArcIMS license.
Note: Web TELUS is designed to be modular and can be deployed without ArcIMS or Formula One e-Reporting Engine. Under these conditions, the functionality will be reduced and the system will not provide any visualization of data or on-line, real-time report generation.
If you have questions about hardware and/or software requirements, or about compatibility of WebTELUS with other GIS and web reporting software tools (such as TransCAD or Crystal Reports), please contact TELUS development team.
