Note: BillMax requires a dedicated host (server) for its use. This setup enables a secure
environment from which to operate as well as greatly reduces complications related to the
installation and maintenance of software. BillMax may be installed on bare-metal hardware or
on virtual systems (on premise or hosted). BillMax (the company) offers hosting services
using Amazon Web Services(AWS) as well. Contact BillMax sales
(sales@billmax.com) for more information.
The required capabilities of the hardware
are highly dependent on the number of subscribers managed by BillMax and to a lesser extent,
the number of customer service representatives using the system at any given time.
Two metrics to consider include the acceptable average response time for queries and updates
and the time it takes for the nightly (batch) processes to complete. The latter of which is
really a consideration for large companies. On these systems, a system without enough resources could cause
the nightly batch time to exceed the off-hours time available.
BillMax is primarily a database driven system. As such its performance is enhanced with fast
disks and large amount of random access memory. Raw processing power is a secondary concern.
With these points in mind, a typical ideal specification for most companies would be:
- 8-16GB RAM
- 2-4 CPUs
- 100GB solid state disk
