Hi Maurina, nice to hear that you are trying out Arches. Arches is
considered an enterprise-level system because, as you guessed, it is not
designed to reside on your laptop or desktop computer, but instead on a
remote server. However, all the PCs in your organization would be able to
access Arches directly through the internet, as would any other computers,
because to its users (and you), Arches functions just like a website.
In practice, people install Arches in a variety of ways, but these are the
most common:
1. On a cloud hosting service, like Amazon Web Services or Digital Ocean
- Hosting services like this charge a monthly fee based on what kind of
server you are renting.
- The philippineheritagemap.org Arches installation is hosted this
way, as with my own current project <http://afrh.adamcfcox.com/>.
2. On locally maintained servers
- An example of this would be a university system that maintains
their own webservers and allows its departments to use them for academic
project
3. On a laptop or desktop computer
- This is not the way to create a production-ready installation of
Arches, but it is a good way to test it out and make general
customizations
Creating an installation of Arches can be a pretty involved process, so if
you haven't already I'd recommend that you read the Implementation
Considerations document that you can find here on the forum. Starting
small with your own project is a good idea.
Altogether, your plan sounds like a very good one, and the fact that Arches
runs on a remote server will serve your needs very well, because people all
across the organization will be able to access it from anywhere.
I hope that answers your questions, but always feel free to ask more...
