The CM4D Configuration and the CM4D applications can be installed on a single machine. However, with larger organizations that need to support a higher usage may want to distribute the various parts of the system to multiple systems to load-balance and manage resources. The following are just a couple examples of multiple server or client deployments.
Example 1 - Configuration Server + Application Server
In this example, the configuration tools and other web applications are installed on a central server. The desktop application and its supporting services are installed on another server to handle all the application end and data processing.
