Typical Multi-Server Deployment

A typical CA SOI deployment occurs across multiple servers. Each server contains specific components, and the servers communicate using various protocols to provide all product functionality. A typical, multi-server deployment consists of the following components on the following servers:

• Server 1: CA Business Intelligence, CA SOI Reports
• Server 2: CA EEM
• Server 3: SA Manager, Universal connector, Mid-tier connector, Service Discovery, CA EEM
• Server 4: UI Server
• The Microsoft SQL Server database is installed on a database server that can be local or remote from the SA Manager or part of an existing SQL cluster.
• Extra connector servers may be required to optimize performance or if you install local connectors that require their domain manager on the same server.

The following graphic shows a typical multi-server deployment and how all components communicate:

Note: Although the list groups CA EEM with Server 2 or 3, the graphic depicts it separately to show how other components communicate with it. You can install CA EEM on a separate server if products other than <sam uses it.
