Three-machine setup

This second configuration divides the Crystal Enterprise processing load in a logical manner, based on the types of work performed by each server. In this way, you prevent the server components from having to compete with each other for the same hardware and processing resources. In addition, this scenario prepares your system for further expansion to provide redundancy.

Note:    It is recommended that you use three multi-processor machines (dual-CPU or better), with at least 2 GB RAM installed on each machine.

These are the general steps to setting up this configuration:

• Install the APS and the Event Server on one machine.

  Tip:    Here, the Event Server is installed on the same machine as the APS. In general, however, the Event Server should be installed on the machine where your monitored, file-based events occur.

• Install the WCS and the Cache Server on the second machine.
• Install the Page Server, the Job Server, and the Input and Output File Repository Servers on the third machine.
