Astra Schedule and Platinum Analytics have a completely new technical architecture. They have been created as a brand new, entirely web-based, combined application using the state-of-the-art .NET development environment. Written primarily in C# and using .NET tools and java script to support easier user interaction, these applications are replacements of previous versions—not upgrades—and require a different physical infrastructure. To prepare our current and future clients for the implementation of Astra Schedule and/or Platinum Analytics, we recommend the system specifications included below.

 

Astra Schedule and Platinum Analytics are deployed in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, installed and managed off-premise in the “cloud”. The "cloud" based technical infrastructure in this type of deployment is managed by Ad Astra.  Please contact your Ad Astra account manager for more details.
