objectiF RM in the cloud
Using objectiF RM in the cloud by purchasing a monthly license
Cloud solutions
Get connected with AWS, Microsoft Azure or your own cloud
Amazon Web Services
You’ll need:
- an Amazon Web Services account
an Amazon Machine Image configured by microTOOL, from which an Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is created
a monthly license for objectiF RM
With EC2, each objectiF RM customer receives its own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), i.e. your servers and systems are isolated from those of other customers. The Amazon Machine Image is available at the Frankfurt am Main location, but can also be made available at other locations.
The Elastic Compute Cloud EC2 includes:
- MS Windows Server 2012 RTM, MS SQL Server Express 2014
or MS Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM and MS SQL Server Standard 2014.
As EC2 equipment we recommend “m4.xlarge” with 2 CPUs and 8 GB memory. The MS SQL Server Express 2014 is limited to 1 GB RAM and 10 GB data volume, for larger requirements we recommend the MS SQL Server Standard 2014.
Amazon Web Services offers scaling for the Elastic Compute Cloud, i.e. you can adapt the equipment according to your needs at short notice.
Microsoft Azure
You need:
- a Microsoft Azure account
a virtual Windows server with SQL Server
a monthly license for objectiF RM
By creating a virtual machine, each objectiF RM customer receives its own virtual network with a network security group, i.e. your servers and systems are isolated from those of other customers. You can create your servers in any Azure region.
As equipment we recommend at least 4 CPUs and 16 GB memory. The MS SQL Server Express is limited in RAM and data volume, for larger requirements we recommend the MS SQL Server Standard or higher.
Azure offers a scaling of the virtual servers, i.e. you can adapt the equipment according to your needs at short notice.
Your cloud solution
You need:
- Microsoft Windows as operating system
a virtual Windows server with SQL Server
a monthly license for objectiF RM
As equipment we recommend at least 4 CPUs and 16 GB memory. The MS SQL Server Express is limited in RAM and data volume, for larger requirements we recommend the MS SQL Server Standard or higher.
Various team scenarios
