Published justification: The overall architecture of the system is based on ltanium-based servers running the
OpenVMS operating environment. A Mimer database system provides the core data
management environment, with an n-tier approach of a Windows business layer server and
Windows client applications providing access to the system to end users. The nature of the
relationship with NHSBT, access to source code for the ongoing development of the system,
and the capability to support the overall system in an end-to-end manner results in all
support an development work on the NIBTS Pulse system being exclusively delivered by
Savant.
