Standalone configurations
You can install a standalone configuration of BMC Dashboards for BSM using the options discussed in this topic. Either of the options discussed in this section can be used in a test environment or for small deployments.
Standalone single-server deployment
In a single-server deployment, BMC Dashboards for BSM and BMC Atrium DIL are deployed on the same computer. Although communication between the two Deployment options components occurs through a network socket, there are performance gains that are due to minimization of network latency and traffic.

Standalone dual-server deployment
In a dual-server deployment, BMC Dashboards for BSM and BMC Atrium DIL are deployed on separate computers. This configuration allows for optimal resources to be allocated to either application based on application characteristics and needs.
BMC recommends that you use this deployment option if you are planning to change your deployment later to a clustered configuration. Since the clustered configuration requires that the BMC Atrium DIL and application server be installed on separate computers, fewer manual steps are required to move to a clustered deployment.
