AVI Beta 3: Save Bandwidth with Workstation Update.

AVI's new facility allows PC clients to update from local server. Innovative breakthroughs to save bandwidth.

The global financial crisis is happening now will inevitably affect our country as well. Like it or not, we must be clever-clever trick this fact, one of which is to save money by minimizing the budget and expenditure. Which we had often turned a lot of lights, start by cutting. If you previously used on a motorcycle just to go to a neighbor's house, start by walking. Savings can we do to the use of bandwidth, we know much less bandwidth in Indonesia is still very expensive.

In the current situation we try to give a new breakthrough in AVI and is the first technology was applied by the local anti-virus today. AVI is now able to update through a local server (workstation update) so that each computer on the network connected to the local server can perform the update without the need to connect directly to the internet. This will make use of bandwidth can be minimized, especially in a network that has a lot of client computers such as in cafes and offices.

Concept Work Workstation Update
How it works is quite simple update workstations. In a network must have 1 computer that acts as a server and must be connected to the Internet. When there are new updates, then this is the server that will download and save them. After that the server will provide notification to all connected clients to update immediately, then each client will perform the update by downloading the data available on the server.

Comparison
How much bandwidth can be saved by using this method? Let us quantified. Such as in an office, there are 30 client computers connected to the Internet and installed each AVI. If every day to update AVI 100KB file size, if all these computers to update via internet the need (30x100KB) 3000KB. That's just one day. If multiplied by one month, then the required bandwidth of about 107MB. Compare with workstations using update. Because only 100KB of bandwidth needed per day, then in one month only takes 2.5 MB. That way we have to save bandwidth up to 105MB per month!

Implementation
In order to use this feature updates the workstation there are several steps you should do:
1. Install the update server workstation AVI
AVI workstation update serverâ € "to make it easier selanjutnnya we call Auserv sajaâ €" is a form of application programs which will be run on the local server. Auserv built using Java that can run on various operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. With the requirement should have been installed JRE (Java Runtime Environment). The first step before running Auserv is make sure your operating system already installed JRE. Open the console (on Windows can be a way the Start Menu> Run and type cmd) in the console window type: java-version Press enter, if the text appears approximately as follows: java version "1.6.0_07" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) Java HotSpot (TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing) That means JRE already installed, but if it does not appear like the above means you need to install first. To install it manually you must first download the JRE paketan you can get from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp or you can get the JRE at InfoKomputer DVD this month.

2. Running Auserv
Avi_workstation_update_server.zip to extract the files wherever you want. We recommend to put extracted files on storage media that still has a large free space, because it would save each Auserv update information into the storage media. After that you can simply run it. If you use the Windows operating system, Auserv can directly run by double clicking on the file auserv.jar, or it could be a way to run through the console, by typing the command: java-jar auserv.jar The Linux operating system, if you want to Auserv walked behind the screen (background) add the sign & at the end of the command, for example: java-jar auserv.jar &

3. Configuration
After you successfully run Auserv will display a new window, click Settings. In the Settings window fill in the Server with update.ansav.com, after that try to check the connection by clicking Test Connection button. Next on the Port fill port number you want to use, the default value is 2194. In the Clear log in with the maximum line content to be written in the log window, the default value is 3000. At the Save the log to be your past, but if you activate it every event which is written in the log will be saved as a file. In the Password content with a unique password (default is admin). This password is required only if you want to turn off the remote Auserv process use telnet (on the operation of the remote Auserv may be discussed on another occasion). Last on the MAX Clients, content with what number limits the maximum number of connections that will be accepted at one time (default 30). Click Save to save the changes you've made. Then click the Enable button to start the service.

Settings on the Client Side
After configuring the server is finished, now turn on the client side. Run AVI latest version (currently v2.0.9 BETA or 3), select the Settings tab (Settings in the Indonesian language), then select configuration on the Update. Then in the Update settings there are two options that update methods directly via the main Update servers and workstations via the Update; select Update via workstations. Further Update on the workstation settings, contents server address with the host name or IP address of the server where Auserv been installed, be sure to fill all parts of the same port with the port number you have configured the Auserv. Last click Check server configuration to determine whether we have made is correct, if they succeed it will display the server information, like the following:

Server information: AVI 0.0.1 update server workstation running on: Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686

Examples of such information obtained from the server with the Ubuntu Linux operating system. At this point means that everything has been a success.
