DC 5.7 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.
