Visure Requirements Repositories

Visure Requirements repositories are created based on commercial databases.

For high availability and corporate deployments the following databases are currently supported and highly recommended:

• Microsoft SQL Server: 2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017
• ORACLE: 10, 11, 12

For smaller deployments, with a relatively small number of items (< 5000 items) and concurrent users (< 5 concurrent users) the following databases are currently supported:

• SQL Server Express
• Oracle Database Express

These databases have built-in performance restrictions. Visure highly encourages to review these restrictions before deploying them.

For single users (evaluation and offline use), the following engine is supported:

• Microsoft Access

The migration between any of these databases is fully supported within Visure Requirements.

Visure Requirements License Server

The License Server must be installed on a Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 (32 or 64-bit), Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit) or Windows 8 (32 or 64-bit).

 

Communication Requirements

1 GB/10 GB LAN between the VR clients and the Visure repository. There must be bidirectional communication via TCP/IP between the License Server and the VR clients. For further details on how to install Visure Requirements, please review the Visure Requirements Installation Guide.
For medium-to-large deployments, a client virtualization solution is recommended. Please contact us to discuss various possibilities.
