AICE helps ICPs and quality control professionals protect patients. Electronically transfer data from your surgical, micro, and ADT systems to save time. Create hundreds of lists, tables, rates, and graphs with precision and ease. Export reports to presentations or data to NHSN. Produce statistical control charts to identify processes or outcomes that require intervention.

System Requirements - AICE^®

Minimum Hardware Requirements--Local or Wide Area Network
AICE does not have to be installed on a dedicated server. However, if you expect to analyze databases larger than several hundred thousand records, installing AICE on a dedicated machine with more than the minimum hardware requirements will optimize the program's speed and performance. A dedicated machine does not need to be running a Windows server operating system. It can be any new computer that meets the requirements and is not used to run other CPU-intensive applications simultaneously.

If you plan to access this server over a wide area network (WAN), you must have a high-speed internet connection (the equivalent of a T1 line with at least 1.5 Mbps in the server-to-client direction) and adequate bandwidth to serve simultaneous database requests from all member facilities.

The Standard (LAN) Editions of AICE, Respond and/or RedBat can be installed on the same client and/or server. When installed on one server, current versions of all ICPA products must be maintained for each product to work properly. In order to access the most current releases, Annual Maintenance and Support Agreement (AMSA) subscriptions must be current for each ICPA product. With AMSA subscriptions, same platform upgrades are free.

Enterprise Editions of different ICPA products should be installed on separate servers but can be on the same wide area network.

AICE Standard Edition System Requirements
Minimum Requirements for Database Server
• Windows XP/2000/2003 or Vista (Novell is not supported)|
   > Microsoft Virtual Server is an acceptable alternative
• Network card (at least 100 Mbps) with TCP/IP
• Pentium D or Core 2 Duo processor, or equivalent
• At least 1 GB RAM
• 1 GB of hard disk space for each facility that will be sharing the AICE databases
• CD-ROM drive

Minimum Requirements for Client PC
• Windows XP/2000/2003 or Vista
• Network card (at least 100 Mbps) with TCP/IP
• Pentium 4 processor, or better
• 512 MB RAM (1 GB for Vista)
• 100 MB hard disk space
• Minimum Screen Resolution is 1024 x 768
• CD-ROM drive

Notes—Installation on the Server
• Only one version of AICE can be run on a server. That is, there can be only one AICE data directory on the server.
• Do not install an ICPA product on the same server with another company’s product that also runs Sybase. Running any older and newer Sybase products on the same server will affect the functioning of one or both programs.

AICE Enterprise Edition System Requirements (Shared-Database and Multi-Database Editions)

Hardware Requirements
• AICE Enterprise should be installed on a dedicated server.
• With larger Enterprise groups or when facilities are geographically dispersed, we recommend using a third party Terminal Server/Remote Desktop solution to optimize performance.

Minimum Requirements for Database Server/PC
• Windows XP/2000/2003 or Vista (Novell is not supported)
• Wide area network (WAN), a high-speed internet connection (the equivalent of a T1 line with at least 1.5 Mbps in the server-to-client direction) and adequate bandwidth to serve simultaneous database requests from all member facilities
• Network card (at least 100 Mbps) with TCP/IP
• Pentium D or Core 2 Duo processor, or equivalent
• At least 1 GB RAM
• 1 GB of hard disk space for each facility that will be sharing the AICE databases
• CD-ROM drive

Minimum Requirements for Client PCs
• Windows XP/2000/2003 or Vista
• Network card (at least 100 Mbps) with TCP/IP
• Pentium 4 processor, or better
