Choosing a Deployment Model

As a part of the RiskMinder deployment, RiskMinder Server is the primary component that you must install. The server provides the risk evaluation service, which includes transaction risk evaluation. Your applications that must use RiskMinder Server can integrate with it by using Java SDKs or web services shipped with it.

RiskMinder also requires an SQL database for storing server configuration data, user-specific preferences, and usage data.

Typically, all RiskMinder components are installed on a single system for development and simple testing. However, in production deployments and staging environments, RiskMinder Server must be installed on its own system. The shipped SDKs or web services are installed on a different system or systems that contain the application that users log in to.

RiskMinder is also shipped with a Sample Application, which can be used to verify if RiskMinder was installed properly and to perform risk evaluation. Sample Application also serves as a code sample for integrating RiskMinder with your existing applications.
