Microsoft .NET = World Class Software
MPulse Maintenance Software is a true “n-tier” application, built on Microsoft’s market-leading .NET Framework. As a Microsoft Silver ISV Partner, we work closely with Microsoft to bring you reliable, scalable applications that meet the needs of even the most demanding users.
Hosted or Locally Installed?
Customers who choose MPulse’s Application Hosting Service (AHS) can be sure all their back-end system requirements are met. AHS, managed by Rackspace, is free to MPulse Maintenance and Support Program (MSP) subscribers. For a local install, you’ll need to meet the minimum business tier and data tier requirements in addition to those for the client tier.
Database Options
MPulse uses Microsoft SQL Server as its underlying database. If you don’t have Microsoft SQL Server licenses, don’t worry. Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services is included with every edition of MPulse Software. MPulse is upward compatible with all versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or higher.
MPulse System Architecture
The client, business, and data tiers of MPulse communicate with each other using standard Internet protocols, HTTP and XML. This architecture gives you the flexibility to implement either a distributed or centralized installation based on your business needs—not on physical location. Your users can be anywhere in the world, and you can closely control access, security, and system integrity.
