  • Low speed (1Mbps)
  • Latency < 10ms
  • Many simultaneous connections (>10)

CenterView Application Server

CenterView Database Server

The CenterView Application and Database may be installed on separate servers. Take care to assess the latency if running under Vlans. If so, the connection between them requires:

  • Very high speed (5Gbps) / very low latency
  • Very many simultaneous connections (>50)

CenterView Application Server

Mail Server

The CenterView Application can be configured to generate outbound emails. This requires:

  • Medium speed (100Mbps) / latency
  • Few simultaneous connections (<10)

CenterView Support Agents

CenterView Application / Database Server

CenterView Solutions support agents may require access to the Application and/or Database server(s) in order to resolve reported incidents. This requires:

  • Low speed (1Mbps)
  • Few simultaneous connections (<5)

As these connections are only required intermittently, it would be reasonable to have this connection normally blocked by a firewall and opened on request.
