Overview of deployments

Netcool®/Impact can be deployed as a single system installation or as a distributed installation.

To set up the deployment, you run the installer programs on systems in your environment. The installer copies the program files to the systems, and sets the minimal required configuration options. After a successful installation of all the components, you can then customize the configuration according to your needs. To run the deployment, you use a set of administration scripts, or services administration tools, depending on your operating system.

A centralized logging feature is provided that is used by both the Impact Server and the GUI Server, to monitor application events and status during application runtime. In addition, you can use application subcomponents, like for example services, to configure them to log their activity to files.

You can use the ObjectServer as an external authentication and authorization source for your deployment.
