1.3 Recommended Server Configuration

Many factors affect how you should set up your system, such as number of users, number of concurrent users, and volume of information shared. This section provides some general guidelines to use.

1.3.1 Components Requiring Dedicated Computers

Depending on the size of your installation and the number of users you serve, some components can be installed on the same computer. Other components perform best when each component is installed on a dedicated computer. GroupWise Mobile Server and your GroupWise system should not be installed on the same computer. Likewise, the Secure Gateway and GroupWise Mobile Server should not be installed on the same computer.

1.3.2 Environment Analyzer

The most common installation problems result from insufficient or improperly set up prerequisites. Intellisync’s Environment Analyzer checks your system configuration and requirements to help ensure a successful installation.

Environment Analyzer is part of the installation program. When you begin an installation, the Environment Analyzer runs to make sure all conditions are right for a successful installation. If the analyzer detects potential problems, the installation program stops. You must correct any problems before you can install the software.
