Vitalnet® Software - Architecture Summary

Print-Friendly


Vitalnet Architecture Diagram     1) Existing Data - EHDP uses powerful import utilities to extract, check, transform, combine, and load data from isolated data silos. Any structured, documented format provided can be imported.

2) Vitalnet Data - The walls between data silos are now gone. Within Vitalnet, the data are integrated into a set of record-level databases, optimized for rapid analysis, and linked as appropriate.

3) Vitalnet Database Engine (DBE) - In response to user requests from a Vitalnet platform, the DBE analyzes the record-level Vitalnet Data, and sends the results back to the platform for display.

4) Vitalnet Platforms - The VitalPro and VitalWeb user front ends are totally menu-driven. No programming or SQL knowledge is needed. Little or no training is required.

5) Vitalnet Output - In response to the user's menu selections, the platform displays the requested table, map, chart, data file, or text file.

6) Output Usages - The Vitalnet output can be printed, used on a web site, used in a report, or imported into other software tools.



VitalPro Desktop Platforms - VitalPro runs directly on the desktop. It offers maximum flexibility for making selections. The program directly incorporates the Vitalnet database engine. VitalPro for DOS and VitalPro for Unix have a textual user interface (TUI), and are almost identical in operation. VitalPro for Windows runs under Windows 98 or more recent, with a graphical user interface (GUI).

VitalWeb Internet Platforms - VitalWeb runs in essentially any browser. To make output, the program sends a CGI request to the Vitalnet database engine on the server. VitalWeb Standard has a main web page. Pop-up windows help users select parameters and display output. VitalWeb Wizard is a series of dynamically generated web pages. Each web page is specially created, based on the user's previous selections. VitalWeb Ajax gives the functionality of a desktop program in a browser window.

Vitalnet Database Engine (DBE) and Data - The DBE receives a query from a platform, reads the Vitalnet Data, and sends back the needed results. The DBE analyzes record level data, yet still produces results in seconds, even with millions of records. The record level format provides maximum analytical flexibility for you and your users. A platform-independent data format is used, so the same exact data files can be used on any computer, increasing reliability. Storage space is low, for example only about 600 KB for one year of Texas death data, making it possible to quickly analyze data directly on your PC.

Vitalnet Source Code - Vitalnet is written in C, with hundreds of thousands of lines of source code and thousands of functions. The DBE, platforms, and import utilities all share the same business logic, and all HTML & Javascript is automatically generated, greatly increasing reliability. Vitalnet is a powerful data-driven framework that can generate any number of customized executables. Based on your requests and requirements, we can generate a totally new system customized for your needed combination of platform, data scenario, and geographic area.
