InfoCenter Home > 1: Single machine topology
Visual overviewThe most simple configuration is a single machine configuration.
DiscussionIn this simplest of topologies, all components are installed on the machine containing the Web server. The Web server routes requests, as appropriate, to the WebSphere Application Server for processing. A WebSphere administrative server stores application configuration data in its administrative database. The administrative database or another database might also hold application data for applications that require a place to store data (such as user session information). The machine contains one or more administrative clients (not shown) for manipulating configuration data. Typical useFor Advanced Edition users, this configuration is most suitable for development, testing, and intranet environments where performance and security are not critical goals. IBM WebSphere Application Server offers great flexibility in configurations, from including the main components on a single machine (as shown above) to splitting the various components onto different machines according to your business needs. InstructionsTo set up the above configuration, perform the Quick or Full installation. See Section 2 (installation) for detailed instructions pertaining to particular operating system, Web server, and database choices. |
