Recommended Configurations

Ivanti recommends different hardware and software requirements customized for your Ivanti Endpoint Security network setup.

Server Components

The Ivanti Endpoint Security server contains the following components:

  • Ivanti Endpoint Security Application Server: This server is responsible for Web site, replication services, and endpoint distribution services.

  • Ivanti Endpoint Security Database Server: This server is responsible for SQL database and stored procedures.

These servers can be installed on a single server, or on two, separate servers.

  • Combined Application and Database Server: In configurations where the Ivanti Endpoint Security application and database are installed on the same server, the server requires both high processing power and disk speed, as it is performing both application and database functions.
    For recommended specifications when using this setup, see Combined Application and Database Server Recommendations.

  • Separate Application and Database Servers: In configurations where the Ivanti Endpoint Security application and database are installed on separate servers, the server requirements are different. Although processing and software requirements on both servers remain the same, the database requires increased HDD specifications, as it executes disk-intensive functions.
    For recommended specifications when using this setup, see Separate Application and Database Server Recommendations.

Endpoint Scaling Considerations

Regardless of your Ivanti Endpoint Security application and database configuration, your server (or servers) require increasingly high-end hardware and software to offset increased load from endpoints. Use better hardware in environments with a high endpoint count.

Additional Information about Server Configuration

Additional server configuration may be needed for physical memory limits, SQL Server system databases, and storage practices.
