FAQ:A1105 Can Vinsight be run over a network?

Excerpt	The quick answer is yes. The following article discusses some of the issues about installing and running Vinsight on a network.
Vinsight is a client/server application in that the database for Vinsight can reside on one computer and can be accessed from another. The client still does all the processing but the amount of data passed to the client for larger updates is restricted therefore limiting the amount of network traffic. The Vinsight application can be installed on any network workstation that has network access to the Vinsight Database and then the application is simply pointed and connected to that database across the network. The default Vinsight Licence Agreement allows for two users to be connected to the Vinsight Database but more users can be licensed. Location of the Vinsight Database We recommend that rather than having the Vinsight Database located on a dedicated server, you locate the database on the machine that will be doing the bulk of the updating of winemaking records as this is the machine that will need to deal with by far the largest amount of data so will speed processing of that information. Most of the other functions of Vinsight involve reporting functions involving less data or simpler updating.
