CORE Enterprise

This robust Client-Server version of CORE is designed to provide scalability for small or large project teams. CORE Enterprise utilizes a commercial object-oriented database management system to provide access to the project data repository from workstations on a local area network. CORE2net provides permission-based web access to the system design repository from any web browser.

CORE Enterprise Server provides transaction management between clients and the database management system. It includes the administrative functions for managing user accounts, assigning user permissions, and managing the licenses that govern tool utilization. CORE Enterprise Server includes a dynamic updating mechanism that synchronizes active clients, allowing changes published by one user to be automatically reflected in all clients looking at the same data.

CORE Enterprise Client is the user interface to CORE Enterprise Server, and provides complete systems engineering functionality with the same user interface as CORE Workstation. CORE clients may utilize COREsim to execute behavior models.

Minimum Specifications for CORE Enterprise Server Hardware and Operating System Configuration:

  • Operating System: Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista. CORE has been run under some UNIX and Macintosh systems if an emulator (such as CITRIX) is used though Vitech does not provide support for emulators.
  • CPU: 1 GHz processor or better. If only a single client is in use, performance will not increase significantly from the addition of multiple processors. However, if several clients (4+) are running simultaneously, they will realize significant performance benefits from the installation of multiple CPUs. The faster the CPU(s), the more efficient the entire CORE Enterprise Server configuration.
  • RAM: 512 MB RAM is recommended as the minimum, though it will operate with less. Additional RAM (1-2 GB) is desirable.
  • Hard Drive: Hard disk drive should have at least 30 GB free. Ideal recommendation is at least 3 separate physical HDDs or arrays. At least two of them should not be used for operating system virtual memory. One of them should have at least 10 GB free, and the other at least 20 GB free.
  • Network: Static IP address
  • Other: Access to a backup mechanism (e.g., a DAT drive and accompanying backup software) is highly recommended.

Minimum Specifications for CORE Enterprise Client Hardware and Operating System Configuration:

  • Operating System: Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP/Vista
  • CPU: 1 GHz processor or higher. The faster the CPU, the faster script and simulation (using COREsim) execution will be.
  • RAM: 256 MB RAM (Note: More may be required when accessing large amounts of data such as executing CORE scripts on large databases.)
  • Hard Drive: 100 MB free disk space; additional disk space required for project databases.
  • Screen Resolution: 800x600 pixels; 1024x768 pixels or greater recommended
  • Network: TCP/IP connections to CORE Enterprise Server

Network Recommendations for CORE Enterprise Installation

  • A 100BaseT network or faster is recommended.
  • High-speed link for remote or VPN access is strongly recommended.
  • A client-server connection through dial-up, or other low-bandwidth or high-latency link is strongly discouraged.
