Wellnomics Risk Management » Behind the product » The Technology
Note: This is technical information designed for reading by IT personnel.
Wellnomics Risk Management uses a client/server architecture, consisting of:
The Wellnomics Recorder, which is part of WorkPace, runs in the background on each office worker’s computer to record statistics on their computer use. This information is used to build a risk profile of each employee’s workload. The data is logged daily to the Wellnomics web server where it is stored in an SQL database.
Wellnomics Breaks & Exercises (WorkPace) also reminds office workers to take regular breaks and exercises and provides them feedback on their workload and break compliance.
Below are the requirements to run the Wellnomics WorkPace client on the desktop.
| Disk space: | 120MB |
| CPU: | 1% in background (on 1GHz+ CPU) |
| Memory Usage: | 10MB (console minimized) |
In order to monitor everyone’s mouse and keyboard activity Wellnomics Recorder and Wellnomics Breaks & Exercises needs to run directly on each employee’s desktop.
The Wellnomics web server stores all assessment data. A web-based interface called the Wellnomics Portal allows employees to login and complete their assessments and view their reports. Authorised managers can log in and view management reports on their staff, or the whole organisation. All that is needed to access the Wellnomics Portal is an Internet browser.
Wellnomics can facilitate reports in accordance with your organisational structure simply by importing the required data from your organisation’s HR database. This data can be updated at regular intervals using a comma separated values (CSV) file format exported from your HR database. Note that only basic HR data is needed, such as name, email address, department, location, and supervisor.
If you use Wellnomics cloud hosting service you don't need to install or configure any servers to use the product. Under this option Wellnomics maintains the server on your behalf. We have cloud servers based in both Europe and North America.
The Wellnomics Risk Management Software is based on Microsoft technology and requires the following software components if installed locally
The table below lists the recommended minimum server hardware requirements†. for hosting the Wellnomics Risk Management software in a production environment.
For less than 10,000 users both IIS and SQL Server may be run on the same machine.
For more than 10,000 users a separate machine for IIS Server and SQL Server is recommended. Disk drives should be run in a RAID configuration to maximize data transfer rates.
| Users | IIS/SQL Server | IIS Server | SQL Server |
| 1 – 1,000 | Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM | - | - |
| 1,000 – 10,000 | Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM | - | - |
| 10,000 – 50,000 | - | Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM | Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM |
| 50,000 – 100,000 | - | Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM | Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM |
As a general rule, please allow approx 2 MB per user per year for the storage of computer use and compliance data in the Wellnomics Database.
†Note that minimum hardware requirements may change with future releases of Wellnomics.
