MINIMIZING IT STAFF TIME COMMITMENT: The Implementation of FASTER Web requires minimum IT ART time For example, there Is only one environment Muslim! for the Implementation and Nat Is promoted to become the prMUrllon envlronmenl. This environment Is Initially the envlronmenl when your oryanW[lon will do Sating and experience all training. And upon delivery of ITS Mal go -live database, thus environment will be promotetl to a production environment The helps assure quality conlml and makes the III less complex. In addition, FASTER stalls up Rs own test environment on our servers. We pererm Internal wit on your data and any custom dolverables. And after go -live your team agreement permits you to stand up a temporary test environment to Mat any future upgrades or custom products you would have FASTER bulb. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In order to minimize your IT SUITS need to Imuble -shoot and W ensure your flee operations optimum promm", bent Is some Important backgmund related to the speUflations In this document. FASTER Web Is a mlWOn control, database Intensive application that Is typically used by a brand crosa -sectbn of adminlstaNVe and operations staff. FASTER Increases a high volume of transactions. AM a wider variety of seat will utilize FASTERIS taus[ repoNng caWbllldes than mat other database Intensive systems. For example, a large city that uses FASTER reanfly reported that 60 %of the entire Clly's trarrsaMOns go through FASTER, Therebre, while we kmmv that IT resources are expensive and must be managed FARM care, we moommend that you consider carefully that you may want to exceed the minimum gradfleatlons noted adow. Each customers use patlems are somewhat unique based on the number of users, size of database and utilization of dgennt saw= of the System, ThemAre, the metre of the demand on the system makes It Important that your IT staff fulfills two vgked Mies: ENSURING ADEQUATE SYSTEM RESOURCES: 1. This document Includes minimum Specifications. FASTER can make remmmendatlons based on our experience, but ultimately It Is ementlal that your TrataN allocate an envlronment Nat has enough hom mom (the petentlal to add resources Such as RAM, praassers and hard arm space If needed), This can be achleved by allocating a large enough Set Of lateral Senrera Or by placing FASTER Web on a virtual enymnment that has ample beadrvom. (FASTER does all or Its MsUIN using WWare.) In either cause, R Is vltlal that your physical servers or Wroal machlnes have enough head room so that IT shaft an Increase fesourtas if real 2. If you have more than 30-almulemeous were; dump the sag go used, your IT will want to engage In an hour or more of monitoring the envlronment to determine If enough rrsounces are allocated. And If you have more than 30- Simultaneous users, we also strongly recommend that you allocate time during soft go -live b he" a similar number of users on the system white your IT DUST monROrs to determine If there am hough resources. (NOS, It Is typical mat during a soft go -live that Fleet operations cannot al wide enough users to emulate the use that will occur after go-flee. So If you see any maxing rot OF remurca durllq a soft 90 -1ive, Mls typically means that more resources are reetled.) Be aware Nat If your environment has too few resources or band -widUl Issues, this will usually be directed during user training the week of go -live. So w avoid an urgent need to Increase resourem to support training, we recommend that you have ample summers to start with. in addli upon go-five your a step will want to monger the mvinnment a m=d time during a time that Fleet Operations designates as a high volume use period to ensure enough resources are allocated.
