How to design IT infrastructure in Etere system
Server SQL
Choosing SQL server version
 How many clients will be use the system
 How Many playlist in the system
 The fault tolerant method
Hardware suggested
 Rackmount server from IBM, HP, Dell, Fujitsu siemens
etc.
 Xeon processor QuadCore, single or multi processor
 Ram 4 GB
 O.S.: Windows Server 2003 / 2008 with the latest service
pack
 SQL2008 / SQL2005 Server
 Fault tolerant network gigabit card
disk configuration
description
Mirroring : cheap solution,
normaly used in small system,
good for resilient,
poor in performance.
Raid 5: commonly named striping with parity.
Good read performance
Poor write performance
N-1 capacity storage
Raid 10: stripe of mirrors
Good wirte and read performance
N/2 drive capacity
Volumes configuration
Raid 1

SQL backup
SQL server has different option for fault tollerant
 DB Replica: heritated from sql 2000, need to be dismount
every time is changed the DB structure
 Mirroring DB: it can impact heavily to the server
performance
 Backup DB: automatic schedule procedure can be apply,
manual restore
 Clustering: high availability solution, automatic failover
Etere Backup DB
Etere gives for free a toll that is able to backup and
restore the DB, using automatic procedure
 Easy to configure
 Its works with all SQL
version
Automation PC
Pc configuration for Automation
 To run automation module Etere needs a
standard PC
Hardware suggestion:
Intel Core 2 Duo / Xeon QuadCore
2GB Ram
Hd 80GB
Gigabit Network adapter
2 free USB ports could be necessary (for GPI and TC cards)
Windows XP professional or Windows 2003 Server any language
Last service pack released by Microsoft
Is preferable to have the following fault tollerant configuration:
• System volume in Raid 1
• Dual network card configured in fault tollerant
• Dual power supply
How many instance of automation?
It is possible to have upto 4 instace of automation in the same pc
Cost effective solution

Etere WEB
Pc configuration Etere WEB
Etere web can be installed in the same server where SQL is located
For small system can be installed also in windows XP workstation
For a dedicated server this is the hardware suggestion:
Intel Core 2 Duo or Xeon QuadCore
2GB Ram
Hd 80GB
Gigabit Network adapter
Windows 2003 Server any language
Last service pack released by Microsoft
Is preferable to have the following fault tollerant configuration:
• System volume in Raid 1
• Dual network card configured in fault tollerant
• Dual power supply
Etere WEB fault tollerant
To have a fault tollerant system is possible to use the windows 2003

 Windows XP professional any language
 Last service pack released by Microsoft
Vpn connection for support
Goals
 To allow a secure connection through Internet
to all customers.
 Avoid any virus & worm propagation
 Keep low the cost without compromise on
security.
 Allow 24h monitoring using SMNP traps
 Keep it simple

Support 2
Secure why
 No communication between customers is possible
 The communication is restricted to:




FTP – to send/receive files
Remote access for XP
VNC for all the other machine
SNMP traps (receive only)
 No communication between the customer area and
internet
 No communication between the customer area and
any ETERE area except ftp site
Why and hardware VPN
 It is more easy to setup
 It is difficult to break
 The hardware selected (Zyxel) is quite
inexpensive
 It’s easy to disconnect ( a single cable)
 Encryption 3DES
Suggested models
 Zywall 2Plus
 Zywall 35
 Zywall 70
 Zywall USG 1000 (advanced performance)
Zywall 2
 It is the solution quite alla the sites.
 It allows the full connection of all the pc
through VPN.
Tech details
 The VPN box has one internal Ipaddress of
the form 10.3.x.x with a subnet mask
255.255.255.0
 It must have on the external a public ip
address on internet.
 If only a dynamic public address is provided a
DDNS subscription must be provided.
 If there is a firewall to access internet
PPTP,IPSEC and GRE47 must be enabled.
