Basic Operating system Functionality. The proposed EDMS system will be designed as a client/server solution. High-end machines (servers) will provide access to the central database of documents. The end users of the system will use lower scale workstations (clients) that are connected to the server through local network connections. These workstations may run any Microsoft Windows 32 bit operating system, such as Windows 95 or Windows NT Workstation. TMSSequoia recommends Microsoft's Windows NT Server 4.0 as the most suitable operating system for the server machines. Windows NT Server 4.0 is optimized to provide the functionality that is required by enterprise servers such as those that will be employed in the EDMS. Furthermore, NT Server will be combined with selected components from the Microsoft BackOffice suite to implement the database and Internet servers. BackOffice is a set of server software designed specifically to run on the NT Server operating system and work in close conjunction with its intrinsic characteristics. The following sections describe the features that Windows NT Server will offer to Oklahoma County. Multi-user Support Windows NT Server supports concurrent connections. This means that multiple users may simultaneously access or enter information into the system. Both the Internet server and database server will allow such features. If additional processors are added to either of the server machines to enhance the performance, the operating system combined with the BackOffice components will manage the tasks of multiprocessing.
