The SDS software can interface directly with an Applied Biosystems SDS Enterprise
Database as part of a laboratory information management system (LIMS). The SDS
Enterprise Database is a relational, Oracle-based repository designed specifically to
store SDS data produced by an Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR
System. In addition to serving as a common repository for SDS data, the database
provides user authentication, robust and scalable data management, and flexible
archive capabilities. The database also provides the infrastructure and tools necessary
to integrate a 7900HT instrument into a laboratory workflow made up of existing
data management solutions.
The SDS Enterprise Database provides a multi-level user security system that
restricts access to the database and to most functions of the SDS software and
7900HT instrument. The database provides the SDS User Account Manager software
with the client version of the SDS software for managing user accounts. The User
Manager allows users with Administrator privileges to assign privileges and
passwords for user accounts, and to add and remove them. This guide indicates the
access privileges required to perform each task using a short note above each
procedure.

Real-Time PCR System Administrators Guide (PN 4351669) for a complete

The SDS Enterprise Database supports a basic two-tier, server-client architecture
within an Ethernet (10Base-T) or Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) network environment.
The database can function as part of an isolated star network via the SMC router
provided with the database
(Figure 1-15). The server computer uses a static IP address to simultaneously serve
up to 5 clients configured for either DHCP or static TCP/IP operation.
