Environment management

In order to facilitate management of system infrastructure and application environment, all servers should be   assigned to one domain and all SQL instances used in stores should be linked in the Headquarters. Performing   of administration activities for many subsidiaries is significantly simplified in case of having a domain and the   possibility of central control of resources. It is particularly important in case of Comarch Retail system, where it   is necessary to manage an environment comprised of several dozens of computers

In a distributed environment, computers should be members of a domain or be connected to the internal   network via a VPN tunnel, because a properly operating agent network requires a permanent IP of computers   on which a child agent is installed.

Disk matrix

Appropriate disk matrix must be provided for correct, efficient and uninterrupted operation of the system. Depending on particular needs, requirements and funds, corresponding matrix solutions should be   implemented (e.g., RAID 1, 5, 10) with appropriate options such as Hot-Spare.

Virtualization

Instead of purchasing separate physical servers which will have a specific role, it is recommended (particularly   in case of having own hardware infrastructure) to purchase one machine with better parameters, which will act as a virtualizer, on which subsequent virtual machines will be run. The division into virtual machines allows for   running each server role (database, terminal server, Business Intelligence, etc.) separately on one server while   maximally using maximally resources of the server with simplified management of other server roles, as well as   with easier monitoring of resource use.

Comarch ERP BPM Server

Comarch ERP BPM Server service does not require Microsoft SQL Server Standard version – Microsoft SQL   Server Express version is sufficient to run the service.
