Implementation Options

You have several ways to install CA RCM in your network. As you review the options presented in this section, and plan your implementation, ask yourself:

• Do I want to host CA RCM on Windows or AIX computers?

  You can install the CA RCM and Workpoint servers on computers running the JBoss Application Server on Microsoft Windows, or on computers running the WebSphere Application Server on AIX.

• Do I need the added availability and scalability of clustered installation at this time?

  You can implement clustered installation in both Windows/JBoss and AIX/WebSphere environments.

• Do I want to install administrative tools on remote workstations?

  You must install the CA RCM client tools and the Workpoint Designer client on Windows computers. You can create any number of administrative workstations. Additionally, any administrator can access the administrative functions of the portal remotely.
