System Minimum Requirements

BioStar X provides a reliable and scalable integrated security management solution for large enterprise environments. The system can efficiently manage more than 1,000 devices through a distributed architecture consisting of a main server and a communication server.

The main server manages the core management features of the system, while the communication server is responsible for device communication, distributing the load and optimizing performance. Additionally, administrators can access the system via a web browser on client PCs and perform all management tasks. Check the system requirements for installing BioStar X and configure the optimal environment for your organization size.

Main Server

The main server is the computer on which the central management system of BioStar X is installed. The user accesses the system through a web browser to manage it and handle all tasks such as setting user information or access permissions. It is also responsible for monitoring the overall status of the system and managing event logs or alarms.
