Recommended Hardware

Recommended Software

Web Server / Database Server

  • A Dual or Quad Core 64bit processor
  • 12Gb RAM
  • 128Gb HDD for installation drive
  • Suitable Disk space for data
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016 or above with latest service packs
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.0

 


Hosting Options – Application

 

OPTION 1

OPTION 2

Host the application on the same server as an existing web application.

Host the application on a fresh virtual server, suitable for the application:

 

Windows Server 2016 (or above)

Dual core processor (or above)

12GB RAM (or above)

128GB storage (or above)


Note: This is the preferred option.



Hosting Options – Database

 

OPTION 1

OPTION 2

Host the database on a pre-existing SQL server.

Host the database on the same virtual server as the application (preferred).

 
Note: In this case the deployment team will add the required server features to the VM and an instance of SQL Express to host the Learning Analytics Suite configuration database.


Note: Depending upon the requirements of the SQL instance additional RAM may need to be added to the VM.



Hosting Options – TASS Cloud

 

If your school is already using TASS’ Cloud Hosting Services to deploy the TASS application, an alternative to the school providing their own server infrastructure, is to have TASS manage the TrackOne Studio solution alongside of the TASS application in the Cloud.

 

The service includes:

  • Highly secure, resilient and access anywhere infrastructure
  • Backup Management of the application and database servers including operating systems
  • Server Management, including support of operating system and security performance enhancements
  • Penetration testing including remedial actions
  • Monitoring infrastructure at the OS and application level
  • After hours support for critical infrastructure issues

 



If schools expect to have all students logging into TrackOne Studio at one time, such as for Academic Goal setting, the requirements must be greater than the minimum outlined here.
