System Security Functions:
Technical Architecture

Architecture diagram

Major components of an architecture:

• Database: For example, Oracle RDBMS running on a Unix server.
• Client Computers: For example, client computers as industry-standard personal computers running MS-Windows 3.1 (or Windows 95). Typical configuration might include a 75Mhz Intel Pentium processor, 500+MB of disk space, 16MB of RAM, and a 15 inch SVGA monitor.
• Network Protocol: For example, TCP/IP.
• Wide-area Network: The Internet might be idendified as the wide area network connecting client sites with the database server.
• Applications: If applicable.
• Query Tools: Additional "off-the-shelf" commercial SQL query tools might be expected to be deployed, likely relying on SQL*Net connectivity.
• Data Collection: Data might be harvested into the system via a standard interface, perhaps HL7-based.
