      🏗️ System Architecture

      The Veonics® Portal runs on a secure AWS cloud environment with:

      • MySQL Database (transitioning to PostgreSQL with NEXUS integration).

      • AWS RDS, S3, EC2 with encryption at rest and in transit.

      • Application Layer separation to protect sensitive operations.

      • Scalability: Load balancing for high-volume badge operations.

      📌 For full details on infrastructure and security controls, see Veonics® Portal Architecture & Infrastructure.

      🖨️ Printing: Past and Present

      • Historically, VPQM was required for all print queue management.

      • Today, VPQM is optional and only used for magnetic stripe or RFID encoding scenarios.

      📌 For current print workflows, see Veonics® Portal Ecosystem Overview & Introduction.

      📊 New in 2025: Veonics® TRACK
