Administrator's Plus Network Environment

10/100 Connections Among All PCs

1. Within a school, each workstation is connected to the network via a 10/100/1000 network card. Administrator’s Plus software resides on the workstation and the data resides on the server. Updates to Administrator’s Plus software are downloaded from the Rediker Software FTP site. The auto update feature upgrades each workstation to the latest version of the program automatically.

On a wide area network with 10/100/1000 connections between buildings, users of Administrator’s Plus can log into any school and view the data for that school. The Rediker Software District Office can access all data from all schools live and create summary reports including all schools. The district office can register, transfer and withdraw students anywhere in the district.

10/100 Connections within A School / T1 Connections To Other Buildings

2. Within a school, each workstation is connected to the network via a 10/100/1000 network card. Administrator’s Plus software resides on the workstation and the data resides on the server. Updates to Administrator’s Plus software are downloaded from the Rediker Software FTP site. The auto update feature upgrades each workstation to the latest version of the program automatically.  On a wide area network with T1 connections between servers in the various schools, Administrator’s Plus in each school would automatically post current data to an FTP site every evening. This data would then be automatically placed into the District Control Module to be used for summary reports from the previous day’s data.

PCs Connected to the Internet/T1 Among PCs

3. In a school system with T1 connections, an Application Service Provider (ASP) model is possible (e.g. Microsoft Terminal Services or Citrix). Each PC or Mac is a terminal on the central server. All data and programs reside on this server. Data for all schools and for District Control would be current and optionally available on the web. All Administrator’s Plus functionality is maintained, such as right click features and multiple windows.

• Due to their large size, portfolio files and program executable files are not included in the Data Backup Service, unless by special arrangement. These items should be backed up by your normal backup procedures. 
• Rediker Software’s servers provide mirrored drives and an additional tape backup for secure and reliable storage of your Administrator’s Plus data.
• The Deluxe Data Backup Service offers up to one megabyte of storage per student. If a school reaches the one megabyte quota, the school can purchase additional storage space or delete older files to make room for additional backups.
