The following figures illustrate typical IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy configurations.
The first figure shows a simple data center with a single server with a file system and a clustered database. Another server is available in cold standby mode. There are no remote agents or agent relays in this configuration.
The second figure shows a clustered configuration, with two active servers. These servers have separate file systems and databases, which are synchronized through replication.
Relational database
The provided Derby database, while sufficient for proof-of-concept work, is often insufficient for the enterprise. Full-featured databases like DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or MySQL are better options. Ideally, the database is configured for high-availability, high-performance, and be backed-up regularly.
10-20 GB of database storage is sufficient for most environments. For Oracle, use an architecture that is based on Oracle RAC in most cases. For Microsoft SQL Server, use a clustered configuration in most cases. For MySQL, use MySQL Cluster in most cases.
