[Care2002-developers] Running care2x in live enviroment

[Mladen Novosel]

Hello, My Name is Malden Novosel, and currently employeed at Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb. Location of Hospital is in Zagreb, Croatia. Almost done with translation, a day or two... I need some advices and help how to run it better. First of all let me describe the scale of implementation. Care2x is to be implemented in Internal Clinic for live patient admission and care, for starters. After the test and evaluation period it should be implemented throughout the whole Hospital. Hospital Center is spreaded over the five remote locations (campuses), with over the 30 buildings. Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb has around 4700 employees, who will at the end use care2x for their IS. I though of setting up five servers dual Xeon with 4GB RAM, local network infastructure has 2GBps backbone, but link with other location vary from 1GBps (which is not a problem) down to 256kbps. Each are connected through two Cisco PIX firewalls, with rewritten addresses, and connected through a VPN tunnel using 3DES and ... Each of servers should be running care2x, apache, mysql with replication to each other. Base OS is Linux, Debian distro. I chose Debian over others for a flexibility and configurability. Mysql, apache and Care2x are used from their source and compiled except the latter. Has anyone experience with this scale of integration, some usefull tips, is mz HW strong enough to handle atleast a 800 concurrent connection? I need some tips on how to change documents templates, charset, and images. Every time PDF prints out it prints out in a iso8859-1 charset, but the charset should be iso8859-2. And Also have one question, Can I use different images for a logos of different departements? Thank you! ------------------------- Mladen Novosel, dipl.ing. KBC Zagreb Šalata 2
