SRS Pharmacy Systems: Our Technology

Unparalleled Performance
SRS' pharmacy management system, PKonRx, is built on the Linux (Unix) operating system, offering a number of critical advantages over non-Linux solutions:

•	Stability:- Linux doesn't need periodic re-booting to maintain performance levels and doesn't freeze up or slow down over time due to memory leaks. System uptime is typically measured in years - not days.
•	Security: Generally regarded as one of the most secure operating systems due to "walls" and flexible file access permission systems to prevent access by unwanted visitors or viruses.
•	Network-friendly: Because Linux was born and evolved via the Internet, Linux systems network "naturally" and seamlessly.
•	Multiple users: Using the Unix multi-user system as its model, Linux seamlessly handles unusually large numbers of users simultaneously.
•	Multi-tasking: Linux is designed to perform multiple tasks at the same time; e.g., a large printing job in the background won’t slow down your other work.
•	Less cost: You don’t need to spend time and money constantly obtaining proprietary software upgrades.

To assure Internet security, our system features a built-in firewall, with secure SSL and SSH connectivity. Error-correcting (ECC) memory guards against memory failures. Mirrored (RAID) hard drives protect against drive failure and multiple automated system checks by SRS keep your PKonRx system running day in and day out.

In performance, the SRS system is unparalleled. Using an SQL database and C++ programming code, the data you need is retrieved, processed, and presented on-screen within a fraction of a second.
