hsbMake Architecture

hsbMake consists of Server and Client applications designed to operate within a local/internal network environment.

• Communication between the client and server is handled via network services that utilize Windows Authentication (TLS 1.2) for secure data exchange.
• As such, a Windows Domain environment is expected for proper functionality.

‍

💾 Storage Requirements

Determining how much storage a company requires depends on several factors:

• Size of models
• Volume of production
• Amount of data per production order (e.g., CNC data, shop drawings)

Storage can be broken down into three main categories:

1. Project Storage Data

This depends on the number of projects being stored over a given period (Project Volume).

‍Project Storage Data = Average Project Size × Project Volume
Project Size = (Average Model Size + Project Asset Size)


2. Production Data

This includes only active production orders.

‍Production Data = Number of Active Production Orders × Project Size


3. Archived Data

For sizing purposes, archived data is considered uncompressed.

‍Archived Data = Project Size × Number of Archived Projects


📁 Archiving policies can affect the total volume, and further archiving of archived data may also be considered based on retention strategies.

‍

Server

Processor

2.0 GHz or faster x64
4 – 8 cores

Memory

Minimum: 8GB

Recommended:32GB or more.

Disk Space

• hsbMake software requires 1GB of disk  space.
• Project Storage - depends on size of projects. (see 'Project Data Sizing' section).
• Production Asset Data - depends on size of projects. (see 'Project Data Sizing' section).
• SQL Server – see hardware and software requirements 

Operating System

Minimum: Windows Server 2016or greater.

Recommended: The latest or are cent version of Windows Server.

Software

Minimum: SQL Server 2016 Express                                                      .NET Framework 4.7.2.

‍Recommended: The latest version of SQL Server Standard               .NET Framework 4.8or above.

NOTE: Using a virtual server environment is recommended. This provides greater flexibility for:

Networking

hsbMake consists of a Server and Client applications designed to work within a local/internal network environment.

Communication between client and server is implemented using network services that rely on Windows Authentication (TLS1.2) for security so an environment with a Windows Domain is expected.

Project Data Sizing

Overview

Determining how much disk space a company requires depends on:

• Size of models
• Volume of production
• Amount of data associated with eachproduction order e.g. cnc data, shop drawings.

The storage should be considered tobreak down into three areas:

• Project Storage Data
• Production Data
• Archived Data

Project Storage Data should be seen as a factor of the number of projects being stored over a period, the Project Volume.

Project Storage Data = Average Project Size x Project Volume
‍

Project Size = (Average Project Size + Project Asset Size)
‍

Assuming an archiving process is taking place, there will be a finite number of active production orders in the Production Data:
‍
‍Production Data = No. of Active Production Orders x Project Size

Archived project data can be considered for sizing purposes to be uncompressed, so the calculation is simply:
‍
‍Archived Data = Project Size x No. of Archived Projects

The no. of archived projects can be calculated depending on volume over a period of time but could factor in archiving the archive data if necessary.

Project Storage Data

The amount of data required for storing the snapshot project data.

• Core model map data
• Project Storage cache data

Production Asset Data

The data required by the factory for each project:

• CNC files
• Shop drawings

               o   PDF

               o   DWF

• Model Files (model map data)
