Database
Where your database lives
IrisBG can use a locally hosted database or a cloud database. The choice is yours, and you can switch hosting options later if your needs change.
Locally hosted database
- Microsoft SQL Server on your local network for multi-user environments
- Microsoft SQL Server Express on your local network for smaller databases with fewer users
- Microsoft SQL Server Express on an individual computer for a single user
See our installation guide in the Knowledge Library, or contact us for more details.
Cloud hosted database
- We offer a hosting service with all database management taken care of
- An internet broadband connection with a good line quality and speed is necessary
The costs of the hosting service can be found in our price list.
Optional modules
Maps and web server
Mapping and the web solutions have requirements of their own, on top of the desktop and database above.
Maps
- The IrisBG Map module requires an internet connection to access a map provider like Google, or online map services such as ArcGIS/ArcGIS Online with support for WMS/WMTS
- We offer free web map hosting for one custom map
- Maps can also be hosted on a WMS or WMTS that meet the Open Geospatial Consortium standards on a server or your local network
Web server
- Data is uploaded from IrisBG to an internal database on the web server
- For security reasons there is no connection from the web server to your IrisBG database
- Our hosting service includes installation of new versions, server upgrades, troubleshooting and server management
