Table 10.2. Estimated cost of developer software based on academic prices from summer 2006
10.1.1.2 Operation
MS Office support will ensure that the SEAD client will run on the majority of PC’s. The creation of runtime versions will ensure that no additional software is required
beyond the MS Office Standard package. ArcMAP will be required to run the onsite GIS interface and licenses should be
obtained for every machine where its need is anticipated. See Table 10.2 for pricing details.
10.1.2 Hardware
10.1.2.1 Development
Two developer specification MS Windows compatible PC’s, along with access to an onsite server and web hosting as detailed below, will be required for the proposed
development team. Additional PC’s will be required should the team size be increased.
10.1.2.2 Operation
As described in section 5, SEAD will be developed both i as an onsite client-server system and ii for remote access via the internet. The hardware solutions for both of
these components are given below: i Low end server capabilities will suffice for running SQL Server at the current scope
minimum 1GHz CPU1Gb RAM recommended. Some redundancy should be obtained with the purchase of a more powerful server.
ii To avoid the risk of data loss and hacker induced damage, and to reduce maintenance costs, external web hosting will be rented to store a replicated MS SQL Server database
and web interface. This space will also be used as an offsite backup of the onsite database, and optimize the use of the rented space. The currently acquired domain name
www.sead.com will be used as the online database portal. iii A high capacity backup solution should be acquired for onsite use. The use of
removable media will provide a fire and burglar proof system, with the storage of the media in existing safes at the lab in addition to an offsite location.
