DC 5.6 Server setup
A Digizuite installation has four main areas
Web server
Database server
Processing server
Storage
These may be combined in any way on the same server or different servers.
Single server setups
The concept of single server setups, is having everything installed on the same server. This is not recommended for production environments. Use this option only for development and/or test setups
Note
Installing everything on the same server decreases performance.
Multi server setups
The concept of multi server setups, is splitting the installation and thereby the workload, onto multiple servers. This is the recommended option for production environments. The number of servers depends on the need, the typical scenario would be the following:
2 servers
Web server which includes database, storage and Search engine
Processing server
3 servers
Web server which includes storage and Search engine
Database server
Processing server
Storage may be located on any of the servers, a dedicated fileshare or hosted in Azure storage.
