Requirements

Before installing the system, review the following hardware and software requirements and make sure that they are complied with. Non-compliance of the minimum requirements might produce unacceptable performance and unsatisfactory user experience. A bad user experience is a potential issue that might lead to adoption resistance.

Hardware

The minimum hardware requirements are:

  • Application/Database Server

    • Intel Xeon Quad-Core Processors or equivalent

    • 4GB Physical Memory

    • 500GB Hard Disk

    • 100Mbps/1Gbps Network Interface Card

Note: The number of desktop computers depends on the number of users. A minimum setup might be composed of the following: 3 units for the Treasurer's Office, 2 units for the Business Permit and Licensing, 3 units for the Assessor's Office, 1 unit for Land Tax and 1 unit for the Mayor's Office.

Software

Since E-TRACS is implemented using Open-Source Technologies, the LGU has the option to use open-source software thereby eliminating or minimizing the cost for software licenses and fees. The following software are required:

  • Java SDK Version 1.6

  • MySQL 5.0

  • Server Operating System

    • Windows 2008 Server

    • Linux Server

  • Workstation Computers
