General overview

The new SPIN system is developed in such a way, that it should be possible to install it on a variety of hosts. There’s more information on this in the article on hosting.

The system itself is utilizing well known and widespread technologies to enhance the possibilities for installation and maintenance: The General Content and the SPIN Guide is deployed as a WordPress site and the same goes for this system management information site, i.e. the total system uses two installations of WordPress. These might be on the same physical server or at the same hosting provider or they might be on different hosts. The database control functions, the database userinterface and the database graphical interface are programmed as separate systems in PHP. All of these systems should of course be accessing the same database, but the database can be a Microsoft SQLserver or a MySQL database, just by changing the database configuration parameters.
