Allocating the TrueSight Server Automation infrastructure
Depending on how many infrastructure servers are available to install against, the following table describes the various options for separating the different components. Any of these servers can be virtual, but note that making either the Application Server or the Database virtual will cause performance degradation. The unified product installer installs all components on one server.
The following sections discuss how to split up the mid-tier parts of the infrastructure depending on how many servers can be allocated for the infrastructure.
Five Servers
In the following scenario, the infrastructure is separated into five logical areas.
Server Title | Components | Description |
|---|---|---|
Application Server / File Server |
| This server is the primary TrueSight Server Automation Application Server. |
Provisioning Server |
|
|
Reporting Server |
|
|
Client Server |
| This server is where everyone logs on to TrueSight Server Automation . |
Database Server |
|
|
Four Servers
This setup merges the Application Server with the Provisioning Server.
Server Title | Components | Description |
|---|---|---|
Application Server / File Server / Provisioning Server |
| This server is the primary TrueSight Server Automation application server, and it also handles provisioning |
Reporting Server |
|
|
Client Server |
| This server is where everyone logs in to TrueSight Server Automation. |
Database Server |
|
|
Three Servers
This setup merges the Client server with the Application / Provisioning server.
Server Title | Components | Description |
|---|---|---|
Application Server / File Server / Provisioning Server / Client Server |
| This server is the primary TrueSight Server Automation application server, handles provisioning, and is where everyone logs in to TrueSight Server Automation |
Reporting Server |
|
|
Database Server |
|
|
Two Servers
This setup merges all the components while keeping the database separate. At this point performance might be an issue, as the reporting server and application server both require a lot of server resources. Going with anything less than two servers is possible but performance is a concern, and you must ensure that you have a powerful physical server.
Server Title | Components | Description |
|---|---|---|
Application Server / File Server / Provisioning Server / Client Server / Reporting Server |
| This server is the primary TrueSight Server Automation application server, handles provisioning, and is where everyone logs in to TrueSight Server Automation . It is also used as the reporting server. |
Database Server |
|
|
One Server
To support the option of storing all of the components on a single server, ensure that you have a powerful physical server. The unified product installer installs all components on one server.
