Typical Configuration

In a typical configuration, you can install the DTS manager components—the TOS, NOS, and SOS—on a Windows Server machine with a DTS agent. All machines that involve data transfer activities must have a DTS agent installed.

All DTS functions, which include transfer schedules, resolution of transfer routes, and initiation of the actual data transfers, are performed on the same machine. A single TOS, NOS, and SOS can perform these functions for your entire enterprise.

This type of setup allows for the most centralized way of controlling the DTS network.

The following models can aid in determining how the DTS architecture can best be implemented to suit your needs:
