Working the way you work

Performance Capabilities

JAS has been designed from the ground up to be a multi-user, multi-client system. It is built on standard platforms of Java, HTML, Apache Tomcat, Microsoft SQL Server (MSDE or Standard Edition).

Our installations range from a few, through to thousands of, users

Over the years, and in it's many installations, JAS has proven to be a high availability system, delivering over 99.6% uptime.

Scalability

The flexible system architecture allows each installation to grow with your needs. Should a system become overloaded, it is simply a matter of adding some additional hardware to spread the load. The system can be separated into separate components for the webserver, application server and database server.

Where there is a requirement for a system to have a high availability, it can be configured to have redundant, load balanced, servers. Should you access our applications via our rental online offering, these issues are already taken care of. If you are installing the software in your environment, we will work closely with you to develop a configuration that specifically meets your requirements for load, redundancy and disaster recovery.

Security

Online system security is a major concern to both software vendors and users alike. Smart Solutions have invested a great deal of time and effort in making our system as secure as possible. We use many layers in our security model and - without giving too many secrets away - we use:

  • Unique username and password authentication
  • HTTPS for secure web communications
  • Enforced complex passwords
  • Encrypted passwords
  • Password and account expiry
  • Account lockout after a number of failed attempts
  • SQL injection protection
  • Each page is validated against both the users credentials and access levels, before being delivered to their web browser.
  • A complex data access model to ensure users can only access the data they are supposed to.
  • No files are stored under the web root.
  • Secure file storage

Our systems have proven to be very secure, over the years, and have successfully been proven against a number of in-depth client security audits.
