Network Configurations
Single Server The HP e-Commerce/XML Server Accelerator SA7150 is typically
used with multiple servers although it can support multiple
applications running on separate ports of a single server. In single
server configurations the SA7150 is connected to the network
between the router and the server.
Ideally, the SA7150 is installed in the network in such a way as to
minimize network latency.
