Overview
Imaxel Photo Solution (IPS) system relay on an infrastructure which has two main components:
1. Internet server(s) located in a datacenter that provide front-end service to consumers and
manage the configuration and ecommerce cycle.
2. Local workstation located in the production center, connected to the internet servers to
download orders as well as connected via internal local network to the print servers.
Local workstation is always procured and managed by the client. Internet servers are normally
procured and managed by Imaxel. In the specific case where this is procured by the client (so not using
imaxel servers but others), these need to meet some specifications prior to Imaxel being able to install
the system. These specifications are described below.
When the client opts to install the solution in their own server also assumes the roles and
responsibility of the maintenance of these servers. Tasks such as performance, reliability, backup and
recovery, redundancy etc are not handle by imaxel but directly by the client, who has to set up their IT
processes according to their business requirements.
In order to provide helpdesk support, Imaxel requires that some communications ports are open.
These are described below.
Internet servers
These server will host, among others:
iWEB frontend editor
Management backoffice: Remote Manager, which is a web application to configure the
frontend and the eCommerce developed in ASP.NET that uses a MySQL database in order to
store the information about the products, prices and orders details.
These service may be provided just by one server or by several depending on the expected volume.
Low production (below 100 orders/day requires only one server. High production volumes may require
2 or more servers.
The recommended hardware configurations are:
