Implementing a Cherwell Server Farm
Consider setting up a single-server farm for testing and sizing purposes. The single-server configuration ensures that Redis is configured correctly and measures how much memory the Redis Servers need.
To implement a Cherwell Server Farm (high-level):
- Distribute the requests to a single server across multiple servers.
- Use a load balancer to distribute requests among servers.
- Size the infrastructure to increase the number of Users and considering the levels of reliability you want to provide.
Warning: Do not attempt to implement these processes if you are
not an advanced User. Serious network and system issues can occur.
Setting up a Single-server Farm
To set up a single-server farm:
- Install the Cherwell Application Server and Cherwell Web Server on a single machine.
- In the Server Manager, turn on Server Farm features and connect to Redis. For more information, see Configure a Cherwell Server Farm.
- Do not set up a load balancer.
At this point you have a single server that behaves as if it is part of a farm. Open the Portal and Browser Client to see the data being stored in Redis.
