SQL Server Recommendations Consider these recommendations as you select Microsoft SQL Server 2008 software: For many small sites implementing a single-server solution, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services is an excellent choice. SQL Server 2008 Express is free, it supports up to 10-GB databases, and its Advanced Services package contains useful database management features. Consider the following before choosing SQL Server 2008 Express: Lacks support for enterprise features. Limited to one CPU. Buffer pool is limited to 1 GB. Databases size is limited to 10 GB (Server 2008). If you already have a dedicated SQL Server 2008, consider using that server to host Kryptiq products such as Secure Messaging, Patient Portal, eprescribing, and Document Management. If you decide to use the remote SQL Server, Kryptiq requires SQL Server Authentication and an account with the db_owner role. For more information about Microsoft SQL Server options, consult Microsoft's Web site. 12 January 2013
Minimum Network Requirements These requirements apply to Secure Messaging and Patient Portal. Minimum System Requirements Network Component Internet connection Internet bandwidth High-speed, always-on, reliable. Details 1 Mbps up/1 Mbps down (small sites). 5 Mbps up/2 Mbps down (medium/large sites). IP address Firewall One available external static IP address. Provide a firewall with port 443 mapped to the Kryptiq Web server. For added security, redirect port 80 to port 443. FQDN SSL certificate Network connection A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is required (for example, secure.yourorganization.org). Must be obtained from a trusted certificate authority. 100 Mbps, full duplex. LDAP Support The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) allows you to synchronize your Secure Messaging and Patient Portal user accounts with your network user accounts. Secure Messaging and Patient Portal natively support LDAP with the following systems: Microsoft Active Directory in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange 2000, 2003, 2007, or 2010. Novell edirectory in conjunction with a Novell GroupWise installation that is configured for edirectory LDAP authentication. Secure Messaging and Patient Portal does not support Organizational Groups. SMPP can only point to the root of the LDAP forest. January 2013 13
Minimum Workstation Requirements To access product features, use the following configurations. These requirements are unrelated to the hosting server requirements. SM/PP DM CM EP Hardware Any that will support Web browser Pentium 4 or equivalent, 1 GB RAM, 50 MB available disk space Any that will support Web browser Any that will support Web browser OS* Any that will support Web browser** Windows XP SP2 Windows 7 Any that will support Web browser Any that will support Web browser Internet Explorer 8.x and 9.x Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x Web browser*** Firefox 2.x Current at Release Safari 2.x 5.x Firefox 2.x Current at Release Safari 2.x 5.0 Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x Internet Explorer 8.x and 9.x *Kryptiq does not support Small Business editions of Windows, but Kryptiq does support 64-bit operating system and hardware with the 32-bit operating systems listed above. ***Document Management requires a Web browser if you use Document Management Viewer. 14 January 2013
Additional Document Management Information Minimum System Requirements Additional Software Software PDF Reader Scanning software Notes Install a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader. To create image files that Document Management can index, you must use software designed to manage the scanning process. Choose a third-party product with the following capabilities: Supports batch processing of multiple documents. Converts paper documents to acceptable file formats (.PDF,.TIFF, etc.). Automatically saves PDF files to a designated folder with a unique name. Document Management Scanner Choose a TWAIN compliant scanner that supports your scanning software and your organization's needs. Effect of Scanning on the Server Hard Drive Requirement In most cases, the required 300 GB server hard drive is large enough to store images from several years of scanning activity. Estimate your eventual need for additional storage based on the rate at which you fill your hard drive or based on the guideline that 30,000 scanned pages (8.5 x 11 inches, black and white, 150 dpi) require approximately 1 GB of hard drive space. Grayscale and color scanning require 4-10 times that amount.
