The iMCA Server™ has been designed as practical and rapidly deployable solution for enabling local and remote automation and environment monitoring. It is invaluable all the way from compact DIY (do-it-yourself) style projects to large cross platform technology installations.
-
The iMCA Server™ is virtually hardware and operating system agnostic. It can work on any modern Intel based platform under Windows (available for selected partners, integrators and resellers only) or Linux (Unix) operating systems. Performance will of course vary depending on the host computer's resources (CPU, RAM) and operating system as well as a number of users/stations concurrently using this system.
-
The iMCA Server which runs the iMCA Controller is entirely self-contained, reliable solution and requires almost no ongoing administration (due to security considerations, setting Static/Dynamic IP address and changing is an exceptions). In most cases we recommend and deliver iMCA Server pre installed and configured on Linux (Ubuntu) as the most practical and cost-effective OS for the system.
-
Depending upon your selected delivery option, installation and configuring of the iMCA Server / Controller can be straightforward (virtually 'plug n play'), or may require some system administration knowledge of Windows or Linux/Unix operating systems on which the iMCA Server is run.
-
We work closely with our clients: System Integrators, Installers, Automation Hobbyists and Technology Enthusiasts in ensuring the most appropriate option is selected based on their knowledge and available resources. Please use our support form to find more about each option and should you have any questions.
