Deployment Options

The CA Executive Insight installer supports the following deployment solutions. To prepare for your deployment, review the options.

Recommended for sites with existing secure ways for users to access the internal corporate network from their mobile devices, using VPN or Mobile Data Management (MDM) options.
During the installation, select the component, "Server and Mobile Application User Interface."
If you are upgrading from a previous internet-accessible version of the product, then that will be upgraded.

Recommended for sites that want users to access CA Executive Insight directly from the Internet without being logged in to the internal corporate network.
During the installation:
- Select the component, "Server and Mobile Application User Interface" and install it on a server behind firewalls.
- Additionally, install the "Mobile Application User Interface" component on a server in the DMZ.
  - Deploy this component on a different computer from the Server and Mobile Application User Interface.
  - This component communicates with the "Server and Mobile Application User Interface" on its HTTP/HTTPS port. The HTTP/HTTPS port is the only port that must be opened on the firewall between the two computers. Also, this port must have direct access to the internet, or use a reverse proxy.
The Admin UI can be accessed only from the intranet on the “Server and Mobile Application User Interface” component.
