CXO Software Architecture Overview
Hardware Requirements
Usage of CPU, RAM and storage space can vary significantly based on user behavior.
These hardware recommendations are based on traditional deployments and may grow or shrink depending on how active your users are.
| Multi-Server Architecture | Single Server Architecture | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Item | Application / Web Server | Database Server | Additional Web Server (optional) | Combined Application / Web |
Processor | 2 cores | 4 cores | 2 cores | 4 cores |
RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB | 8 GB | 16 GB |
HDD | 1x 25 GB of free space or more is recommended for the software data (non-system drive is preferred) | |||
Recommended Microsoft | Basic Small VM | Basic Medium VM | Basic Small VM | Basic Medium VM |
The Single Server Architecture is only possible for a test environment.
When more than 20 concurrent users are likely to access the web application, you should consider doubling the CPU cores number and the RAM amount of:
...
Single sign-on (SSO) lets users access authorized network resources with one login. You validate usernames and passwords against your corporate user database rather than CXO Software managing separate passwords for each resourceapplication.
Our solution supports SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language), which allows for the use of SSO, using enterprise identity providers such as Active Directory, LDAP or any IAM supporting this standard. Enabling Single Sign-On means that user authentication is handled entirely outside of our software.

Security
The connection between CXO and the different databases can be done through an Active Directory authentication or SQL native account (if applicable).
Also, The CXO website can be protected with HTTPS.
