Does ZiSoft Support HA (High Availability) Installation
Similar to the single deployment, the HA environment distributes the end user load among several web and analytics servers. There is still one single Database and one single background server. The distribution of the front end load can be designed to separate users by region or department, or it can be load balanced among all users in the organization.
Does ZiSoft support Single Sign On or LDAP
ZiSoft supports both LDAP and single sign on. This means that your users can use their LDAP (e.g. Active Directory) credentials to login, either by typing them in the ZiSoft portal (LDAP) or by being redirected to your Identity provider portal (SSO). Checkout the user guide for more details on how to setup and integrate with LDAP and SSO.
Does ZiSoft encrypt data
ZiSoft provides application level encryption only for sensetive data such as passwords. If you need to encrypt everything, consider database level encryption with your DBA.
How much bandwidth does ZiSoft need
ZiSoft Awareness is customizable according to your requirements/capabilities. Out of the box, we have 5 different resolutions of each of the included lessons (320, 480, 720, 1080, and 1440). You can choose which resolution to serve based on your campaign size and network capabilities. For example, if your campaign has 1000 employees, and you expect 100 to be concurrently streaming videos at the same time, then resolution 720 will need a server bandwidth of approximately 70 Mbps.
