VOS is a Client/Server application. Your data is stored on a server and is accessed by multiple clients. This design allows for easier management of your software, better performance, fewer errors, and increased scalability. This provides a more reliable system that is able to grow with your office.

Server

Minimum Server Requirement

Processor:	Intel Core2 Duo 1.86GHz
Memory:	1GB
Operating System:	Windows XP Professional
Hard Drive:	250GB
Network:	Integrated 10/100 Ethernet

• This setup should only be used for small practices with under four users.
• Microsoft Vista is not a supported server operating system.
• At least 1024x768 screen resolution required.

• At least 1024x768 screen resolution required
• It is recommended that your server be dedicated for VOS and not used as a workstation.

Workstations

Note: Microsoft Vista Business or higher will work as a workstation operating system. At this time Future Health does not recommend Vista over XP Professional. VOS works great in Vista, but many third party hardware/software drivers may have complications with the infant operating system.

Minimum Workstation Requirement

Processor:	Pentium IV, 1.5 GHz processor
Memory:	1GB
Operating System:	Windows XP Professional
Hard Drive:	80GB

(1024x768 is required)

Recommended Workstation Requirement

Processor:	Intel Core2 Duo 1.86GHz or greater
Memory:	2GB
Operating System:	Windows XP Professional, Vista Business/Ultimate, or Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate
Hard Drive:	250GB
Network:	Integrated 10/100 Ethernet

(1024x768 is required)

Networking Your Office:
VOS is a Client/Server application so it needs a secure and stable network. Wired networks work best for connectivity and uptime. Wireless networks are great for mobility, but can have serious connection problems if not planned correctly. Wireless networks can be compromised by environmental interferences such as; outside interference, concrete walls, other wireless devices, poor placement of wireless access points, etc. Future Health requires a stable wireless network environment. In an unstable wireless network environment, VOS will report “Master executable” or “File not found” errors and will not run as expected. Whether you choose a wired or wireless network we recommend that you hire a network professional with appropriate networking installation/configuration experience to setup your network.

Internet Requirements
You must have an Internet connection to receive installation, updates, training, and support. We require a High-speed Internet connection.

When utilizing the Virtual Educator:

• The network must be a wired network.
  
• Each monitor showing the Virtual Educator material must have a dedicated workstation with XP Pro, Vista Business or Vista Ultimate with minimum 512 RAM, 80GB HD, and 2.5 GHZ.
  

Recommended monitor specifications:

• Size: 19" or greater 
  
• Monitor Resolution: 1024 X 768 or greater
  

If there are multiple site locations (clinics) using the Virtual Educator, each site location will require its own server.
Alternative Networking Options: 

The Virtual Office Suite (VOS) can be accessed using thin-clients or terminal services. For more information on these options, contact a Future Health Solutions Consultant at 1-800-348-7657.
