|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operator Client (Gui) | The Delft-FEWS client used by end-users. | client side, normal pc Screen resolution depends upon the hardware supplied not on the Delft-FEWS software | Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Server 2008 / 2012(R2) Linux RedHat Enterprise, CentOS (6.x 64 bit, 7.x 64 bit) / SLES (11.x, 12.x) | As many as there are clients |
ConfigManager
| Control and distribute configuration via the Master Controller database. | client side, normal pc | Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Server 2008 / 2012(R2) Linux RedHat Enterprise, CentOS (6.x 64 bit, 7.x 64 bit) / SLES (11.x, 12.x) | As many as there are application managers |
| Forecasting Shell Server | Executes forecast models and stores the results in the central database. | Minimum 2 GB RAM and 1 one CPU core per Forecasting Shell Server instance. CPU typically Intel Xeon E5606 2.33 GHz or equivalent. Always reserve 1 CPU core for the OS. | Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Server 2008 / 2012(R2) Linux RedHat Enterprise, CentOS (6.x 64 bit, 7.x 64 bit) / SLES (11.x, 12.x)
| Recommended minimum 2, more depends on computational load |
| Master Controller Server | Dispatches tasks to the Forecasting Shell Servers. Maintenance of central database. Synchronisation between master-controllers. Sends system alerts.
| Minimum 1 GB RAM per MC instance. CPU typically Intel Xeon 2.33 GHz or equivalent. | Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Server 2008 / 2012(R2) Linux RedHat Enterprise, CentOS (6.x 64 bit, 7.x 64 bit) / SLES (11.x, 12.x)
| 1 or 2 |
| Central Database | Central data repository | See Database vendor requirements + 8 GB RAM per DB server including 1 MC DB instance and. CPU typically Intel Xeon E5606 2.33 GHz or equivalent. Add 1 GB RAM per extra MC DB instance. | Oracle 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 PostgreSQL 9.3 / 9.4 MS SQL Server 2008 / 2008R2 / 2012 / 2014 The database instance(s) can be a hosted on an existing database server or cluster. | One instance per Master controller |
