Hardware planning

You can install all StreamServe components on the same computer. You can also use different computers for the following components:

•	Control Center

•	Design Center

•	Framework and StreamServer

•	StreamStudio

•	StreamServe repositories

The number of computers used to implement your StreamServe solution depends on the individual requirements at your company, such as, company infrastructure, organizational structure, operational practices, etc. You should also consider the complexity of the StreamServe solution and type of applications you will run when planning the hardware.

Hardware guidelines

StreamServe Hardware Guidelines documentation, which is available on OpenText Knowledge Center, contains information about the factors you should consider when planning a StreamServe installation. It also contains hardware recommendations for development, testing, and production environments.

Example - Hardware used to run different StreamServe components

This example shows a StreamServe installation that uses three computers to run different components of the StreamServe software.

For information about the third-party software required on each of these computers, see Database requirements for StreamServe repositories.

StreamServe installation using three computers

Computer 1

This computer is used to develop StreamServe Projects and administer StreamServe applications. Control Center and Design Center run on this computer.

Computer 2

This computer runs StreamServer applications and the StreamStudio web applications.

Computer 3

This computer is a dedicated database server. It is used for the StreamServe Enterprise Repository and the runtime repository.

Installation steps for this scenario
