The biggest deal is to put the Appserver on one system and the Site DB & Fusion module on another-it is a HOG! This is due to the communication between the two and between other sensors (losts of memory, writes to the db, and cpu cycles).
The Internet Scanner CANNOT be on the Appserver or DB server because if you are in a segmented environment (i.e., subnets & vlans) you would have to change the ipaddr of the system for each subnet you scan (provided there are ACLs and Firewalls); and Site Protector [the system] doesn't like that (it WILL break). The Internet Scanner and System scanner should be able to go on the same box-in theory. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 5:13 PM Subject: [ISSForum] Placement of SiteProtector, Fusion, 3rd Party Module, Internet Scanner, System Scanner > > > > > Hi All > > We are going to deploy the above software on top of the existing 2 Realsecure > Network and 5 Server Sensors. > > The "System requirements" documents require each of the following to be on its > on dedicated machine. > > 1.
