Before you install Studio, determine where you want Studio installed. Factors may include: the reliability of network connections, the role of public networks within daily business activities, and the location of different sites within the enterprise. After you determine the level of redundancy, you can install Studio using a distributed, a centralized configuration, or a combination of both.
If you want Studio operational on sites regardless of whether they can connect to your headquarters, it is recommend you install Studio using its distributed configuration. This configuration first involves a standard installation of Studio components on a central server. After this installation is complete, you install specific components at each site within your enterprise. This configuration method ensures that your users can continue to access wireless applications even if a site’s connection to your headquarters is unavailable.
If you want to control all aspects of wireless management from a central location, it is recommended that you install Studio using its centralized configuration. With this configuration, you install Studio only on a central server. Users within your enterprise must connect to this server to access a wireless application.
If you select a centralized configuration for Studio, sites on your network cannot access applications if their connection to the central server is unavailable.
These two configuration methods—distributed and centralized—can be combined. For example, if most of the sites on your network have reliable connections to a central server but a few sites do not, you can use the centralized method for the majority of your network and use the distributed method on an as-needed basis.
