ONEIR SOLUTIONS Deployment on VMware

In response to questions from our customers Technical Support Advisors, I asked our VMware consultant to bring me up to date with their offerings. Here are his findings and comments….

The three current recommended choices from VMware (along with the URL’s as of this writing) for running Oneir Solutions in a virtual machine partition are:

1) VMware Workstation – Latest version is VMware Workstation 11

VMWare Workstation is a hypervisor software package that requires an existing Windows or Linux host O/S to run it which adds overhead to running a virtual machine of any type. This option has a nominal $249 license fee. There is also a cost associated with the hosted server operating system.

This option is more suitable to run as a desktop-based solution (or as a proof of concept for a virtualized environment before using vSphere) rather than a server-based solution like vSphere. VMware classifies Workstation as […]

Micro Monitor

Vigilant Point of Sales Software has been a leader in the Canadian Point of Sale software market for over 20 years and it continues to meet the needs of both retailers and wholesalers. However, many Vigilant customers need to go further – larger, bigger, better and stronger. The result was the birth of Oneir Solutions Inc.
Oneir makes use of the extensive business rules and logic from the older Vigilant product, but it has been rewritten in a robust language and heavy duty, stable environment. It provides a superior solution for retailers and wholesalers who have grown beyond the smaller independent business stage or have more than one location.

It provides a full featured business solution – from invoicing to inventory control, CRM, back office accounting (AR, AP, GL), and several optional plug-ins to provide specific vertical functionality.

Oneir’s invoicing family includes Point of Sale for retailers, Sales Orders […]

Year-End Checklist

Oneir Solutions Inc provides all the tools required to make your business more streamline and competitive. This includes your Year-End Closing and Corporate Tax Returns preparation. Of equal importance is that the preparation of your returns provides an opportunity to review the performance of the business during the past year.

The three general levels of financial statement service are audit, review and completion. You and your auditor need to discuss the level of service required prior to commencement of the audit.

Technical Bulletin: Stop Unwanted Access into Your Oneir Solutions Server

A number of our valued Oneir Solutions customers still do NOT have adequate security for their Oneir Solutions server. There have been some recent examples that have come to the attention of our Customer Support team during the past week. One example is the error message shown below. This usually means that (since VMware is running) that the ssh daemon has been compromised or under stress.  The attacks pretty much max out the number of ssh connections – when VMware is rebooted, it will allow a connection usually once and then not again.
