hsbMake Architecture

hsbMake consists of Server and Client applications designed to operate within a local/internal network environment.

• Communication between the client and server is handled via network services that utilize Windows Authentication (TLS 1.2) for secure data exchange.
• As such, a Windows Domain environment is expected for proper functionality.

💾 Storage Requirements

Determining how much storage a company requires depends on several factors:

• Size of models
• Volume of production
• Amount of data per production order (e.g., CNC data, shop drawings)

Storage can be broken down into three main categories:

1. Project Storage Data

This depends on the number of projects being stored over a given period (Project Volume).

‍Project Storage Data = Average Project Size × Project Volume
Project Size = (Average Model Size + Project Asset Size)


2. Production Data

This includes only active production orders.

‍Production Data = Number of Active Production Orders × Project Size


3. Archived Data

For sizing purposes, archived data is considered uncompressed.

‍Archived Data = Project Size × Number of Archived Projects


📁 Archiving policies can affect the total volume, and further archiving of archived data may also be considered based on retention strategies.
