Guidelines for determining resources
Follow these basic guidelines for determining resources:
- Use separate server computers for production trials and trials that are used for testing and training.
- Consider using one server computer for multiple smaller trials (especially Phase 1 trials) that are in separate InForm application servers.
- Use a separate server computer for each large trial (especially Phase 3 trials). Although multiple servers may require additional resources and additional cost, they also provide increased dependability and stability.
Separate server computers can reduce risk. If you have more than one trial on a server computer and make an error in setup or configuration, all the trials on that server are affected.
