32 Maximo Essentials V7.1 - Implementer’s Guide
Figure 4-1 Single Server Deployment
4.2.2 Multi-server
The multi-server topology consists of splitting Maximo Asset Management
Essentials components across several different machines. This is beneficial as it
optimizes resource use and decreases each system’s workload. This type of
deployment would be typical for production use within an enterprise.
Maximo Asset Management Essentials should be deployed on multiple machines
in order to provide load balancing, availability, reuse, and redundancy. This is the
recommended deployment topology for a production environment.
When contemplating your deployment strategy, you must determine if it will
include systems already established in your network. Implementing Maximo
Asset Management Essentials by installing all new components using the
Maximo Asset Management Essentials middleware and Maximo Asset
Management Essentials installation programs will simplify the deployment. If you
plan to reuse or migrate resources that already exist in your network, make
adjustments to your rollout plan to allow time for things such as bringing the
existing resources to version levels that are compatible with Maximo Asset
Management Essentials.
In a disparate environment, the collection of machines in this deployment could
be a mixture of Windows and UNIX® machines. Only the Administrative system
must be hosted on a Windows system.
