End Server
3.1 Overview
The AlliedView NMS is deployed by default in a single server, or non-distributed environment. There are there-
fore certain scalability limits, such as the number of devices or users. Starting in release 4.0, the AlliedView NMS
can be deployed in a multiple Front End server, or distributed, environment.
FIGURE 3-1 Distributed Front End Server Configuration
This section will focus on installing the Front End Server(s), and assumes the administrator understands how this
feature works and has deployed the network (both servers and devices) to support this configuration. The net-
work administrator should therefore read the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide for a description of the dis-
tributed configuration (capabilities of the FrontEnd servers and Backend server) and the benefits it provides.
Installing the AlliedView NMS software on a Front End server is similar to installation on a single server, but
there are a few differences that must be considered during the installation. These are highlighted in the proce-
dures below.
