Deployment Models

Three Infrastructure Options

Physical-Only Infrastructure

Web-code installed on dual quad-core CPUs with RAID storage, load balanced via hardware load-balancers or Windows Network-Load-Balancing. The MSSQL back-end runs on dual quad-core CPUs with RAID or shared storage using SQL clustering for high-availability.

Physical/Virtual Hybrid

Web-code installed in Virtual Machines on dual quad-core CPUs with RAID storage, load balanced via hardware load-balancers or virtual infrastructure failover (e.g. vMotion). MSSQL back-end on dual quad-core CPUs with SQL clustering.

Virtual-Only Infrastructure

Web-code installed in Virtual Machines with virtual infrastructure load balancing/failover. A SAN is recommended (iSCSI, Fibre or FCOE). MSSQL back-end in Virtual Machines with SQL clustering.

Typical Installation Requirements

External URL

An external Web URL is required to licence PMWEB. IP addresses will not be licensed.

Operating System

Microsoft Windows Server — check for the latest approved versions for use with PMWEB.

Database Software

Microsoft SQL Server — check for latest approved versions. Must use default collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

Microsoft SQL Report Server (included with SQL).

IIS

Most organisations prefer PMWEB SaaS on AWS, where all hosting is included — see Hosting & SaaS. The figures above are indicative and to be confirmed against the latest PMWEB requirements during the later content bring-across.
