This document is intended for system administrators managing the configuration and installation of a remote instance of CLAIMS Direct. It outlines the hardware and software requirements to support a remote instance of CLAIMS Direct in any of the three recommended installation configurations.
Note |

You should review these installation instructions and configuration options with IFI CLAIMS technical support before attempting to provision the necessary hardware and software to support an on-site instance of CLAIMS Direct. |
There are several critical steps to a successful install, which will take several weeks to complete. These steps are as follows:
- Scope out service requirements and decide on a configuration.
- Acquire and provision the hardware and software.
- IFI CLAIMS will provide you with a copy of the CLAIMS Direct database, either through a URL or a USB drive.
- On receipt of the CLAIMS Direct data, load the data to the new server immediately.
- Configure and run the update process, and test the instance.
The following graphic presents an overview of the steps involved in the installation process:

CLAIMS Direct can be deployed on common server hardware that is capable of running Linux. The XML data warehouse is managed by PostgreSQL. Other optional components include:
- Solr Search Index
- CLAIMS Direct Web Services (limited functionality in an on-site installation)
- htttpd to support CLAIMS Direct Web Services
The PostgreSQL data warehouse is capable of primary data synchronization, SQL queries, and data (XML) extraction without Solr and httpd.
