Overview

IrisBG is a multi-user system that runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit version). The system is built with Microsoft .NET and uses relational databases (SQL) for data storage. The current version is supported and tested for the databases Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL

The system setup includes all the necessary software, excluding databases. To use Microsoft Word templates to create labels, MS Word (version 97 or newer) must be present. The installation process is self-explanatory and expert assistance is usually not necessary.

IrisBG shares the same data model and program code with the software package Corema (Collection and Research Management).

Implementing IrisBG

IrisBG can be installed on a stand-alone PC or in a multi-user enviroment. In a multi-user environment, the database can reside on a database server in your local network or on a internet hosted database service. Click on sample diagrams to the right, or read the article: examples of implementing IrisBG.

.NET

IrisBG is built entirely with Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 technology. The .NET Framework is a software component platform developed by Microsoft Corporation and is considered by many to be the most modern and mature software development platform for the Windows Operating System. 

Database platform

This botanical software solution has been designed with database vendor independence in mind. Currently, IrisBG has been tested and is supported for Microsoft SQL Server (version 2000 or later), MySQL 5. SQLLite is supported for single user installation.

In addition to support for locally hosted databases, IrisBG can also be supplied with an internet hosted database service. For more information, read our blog article: "Using IrisBG with an Internet hosted database".

We will extend our database platform support if there is sufficient demand.

Web server technology

The Index Seminum and the Garden Explorer modules are built with Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 and Ajax technology. Currently both modules have been tested and are supported for Microsoft Internet Information Services. We will extend our web server support if there is sufficient demand.
