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
Putting 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 and storage
- Processing server
- 3 servers
- Web server which includes storage
- Database server
- Processing server
Storage may be located on a dedicated fileshare or hosted in Azure blob storage.
Advanced server setups
Digizuite supports load balancing on both web and database servers. For such setups, the number of servers increases. These setups are used for production environment where uptime and response times are very critical.
