Depending on your usage, it can work just fine like that. One other thing to consider, though, is where the web access (i.e. the web server) needs to be in your network architecture and security model. DB and Application servers need to be protected well behind the firewall, but a web server may need to be located outside the DMZ to allow outside access to it. If your web server and application server are the same box, you lose that flexibility, and have to make a difficult choice with no good answer. Rick _____
From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Koski, David Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 3:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: arserver and midtier ** Remedy doesn't recommend running Midtier and the ARServer on the same box for performance issues, and I'm curious if anyone is doing this. Our scenario is this. I want to put oracle into a RAC cluster on its own servers (And possibly a third off site system using Data Guard). In that scenario, I was looking at consolidating the midtier, web, and ARS process into a single set of boxes (1 box with the production, 1 box for the backup system). Midtier usage is extremely light, and most of the access is via the aruser clients. Is anyone doing this? Does anyone see a problem with doing this? (In our case, I would think 4 gig max memory with a set of intel dual core dual processors would be enough on the front end to handle this, but...) Because of the cluster, I'm trying to keep the number of boxes to a minimum, since 5 would be a tough sell, let alone separating midtier/web our onto it's own set of boxes, particularly since the usage is really light. Thoughts?
