Custom Installation

The custom installation for CA APM uses a multi-tiered architecture with built-in scalability that lets you complete the following tasks:

Add multiple web and application servers in web farms.
Add Hardware Reconciliation Engines.
Determine the servers on which most components are located.
Use CA EEM or CA Business Intelligence on a separate server.

In the custom installation, the Hardware Reconciliation Engine can reside on a separate server. The following example installation uses a separate physical or virtual server for the web server, application server, database server, and Hardware Engine and supports web farms. The users access the product by directing their client browsers to the web server URL.

Important! CA APM has time-sensitive processes. Verify that all servers are set to their correct date and time with their respective time zones.
