System Access
Responder 5 supports a role based security model to manage all user access.
SQL Clustering
The Responder Database Server (RDS) can be installed in a SQL cluster. The Responder Reports Server (RRS), requires a separate non-clustered SQL instance.
SQL Tools
SQL Reporting Services (SSRS) and SQL Integration Services (SSIS) are required and must reside on the RRS. Please refer to the Microsoft website for SQL specific considerations that should be evaluated by a hospital.
SQL Licensing
The Responder 5 database is implemented with Microsoft SQL Server. Depending upon your facility s system configuration, two separate SQL named instances may be required. MS SQL licensing for each of these servers is also specific to each facility. Please refer to Microsoft s website for further guidance and reference document MS SQL Licensing Guide.
Virtualization of Servers
All Responder 5 servers have been tested and deployed in a virtual server environment. VMware vSphere is the most common Virtualization product used with the Responder 5 system. Responder 5 is also compatible with Hyper-V. The Responder 5 is compatible with the different features of VMware ESX including VMotion, virtual switches, DRS, HA and Storage VMotion. This technology can dramatically reduce the Total Cost of Ownership for Responder 5.
