hi, I was recently hired by a Belgian non-profit organisation that helps people with drug related problems. My main task is to rethink their program to manage clients and billing. Currently we are using an program in ms access for this. As we have cells in different cities every cell uses their version of the program as does administration. You can see that this is far from being ideal.
So I'm thinking of developing a site in php linked at a mysql database on which every cell can log on to. As my budget is close to nothing I'd create a dyndns namespace and use one of our desktops at the main office to host the site.
Since my experience is mainly programming only I was wondering what the hardware requirements are for this. I would use a dual core cpu with 2gb ram and the upload speed is 512 kb/sec. Is this enough? Normally their should be max 10 sessions at a time. And what about safety issues as our clients expect full privacy?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
