Why Single Server

When the number of concurrent users is low

If you are setting up a development environment

If there are no requirements for separating the MS IIS component from the SQL Database component

If the server is in a Workgroup not a Domain

No requirements for High Availability (clustering)

Why a Multi Server

When the number of concurrent users is high

Corporate policies dictate separating certain components – (e.g. IIS and SQL must not share the same server)

Need to separate functional components according to corporate departmental structure

Web Services must be hosted in a DMZ

Database Services must be hosted internally

Tier Authentication

1. Client Web ServerCurrently supported using windows (BASIC, NTLM, Kerberos) authentication

2. Client Application ServerCurrently supported using windows (BASIC, NTLM, Kerberos) authentication

3. Application Server BPC System Resources

(SQL services, Analysis services, & File Services). Application Server uses service-level accountsto access resources

Types of Authentication

Domain

Users

Is Transparent Authentication or SSO a requirement?

Do you support Active Directory?

Will users log into BPC with their Domain ID?

Do users log into their local machines with a Domain ID?

Are all your users in one domain or many

Do you have external users not part of your domain?

Why a Development Environment

A development environment is an integral part of a successful implementation. It provides anenvironment for:

Testing third party software updates: Windows, SQL, Analysis Services, Reporting Services

Can be used as a staging area for new BPC releases that require conversions

Testing BPC application set design changes

Environment to develop future BPC applications/ application sets

Provides Fail Over and/or Disaster Recovery hardware

Reduces potential impact on production users resulting from any of the above activities

***Production and Development environments do not have to be identical in hardware or configuration***

Common Client Scenarios

3 Environments

Test / Dev

UAT (User Acceptance Testing Environment)

Production


3 Environments

Test / Dev

Single server or partner hosted

Can be virtualized


Mirrors production

Production

Should run only production appsets

Highly recommended to be physical servers

Disaster Recovery vs High Availability

Disaster Recovery is the ability to restore the system back to working order in a timely manner.

Includes the recovery of data, hardware, and software

Includes a DR plan with a time specified for maximum acceptable recovery time

High availability is the automatic failover of the system.

Includes identical replicas of complete database and application servers with continuous real-time failover

Should a server fail or have to be shut down for maintenance a synchronized replica will instantaneously and automaticallytake its place to ensure continuous application availability and business continuity

Disaster Recovery Possibilities

Use Development Environment as a DR Environment

Your decision is then based on sizing – an exact replica or less performance and access for the time it takes to recover.

Use Backups

You need to see how often you need to backup based on the time frame you need to meet.
