1.1 System architecture vtestcenter system architecture (3-tier) Note: A test environment identical to the productive environment is required for migration purposes and is recommended as fallback and for testing. License server HTTPS LDAP For the 3-tier Collaboration Platform, named-user licenses are managed on a license server. The license server can either be integrated in the middleware or be installed as separate component. When using a separate license server, RMI is used as protocol for the communication between the clients and the license server. One standard port for the RMI communication is defined during license server installation. This port is only used for the initial request from the clients to the license server. Afterwards, the server assigns a new dynamic port (from the port range: 49152 to 65535) for the communication to keep the standard port available for other clients. Due to the variability of the system infrastructure, the setup of HTTPS is a complex issue and requires a customization project as well as increased installation and test efforts. For the authentication via LDAP, accessing the active directory server must be possible. Due to the variability of the system infrastructure, the setup of LDAP is a complex issue and requires a customization project as well as increased installation and test efforts. - 6 - Version 1.1 Vector Informatik GmbH

Minimum hardware CPU RAM Hard disk LAN 2 GHz Single-Core processor 2 GB SATA 7k2 RPM free space: 200 MB + estimated target size of the repository All files are stored in the Subversion repository. For estimating the required hard disk space, the number of files to be stored, the average file size and the number of revisions/branches per file artifact has to be considered. Due to delta storage, each new version of a file requires approximately 70% of the original file size. The required space can be estimated according to the following formula: <number of files> * <average file size> * (1 + (0.7 * <number of revisions/branches per file>)) 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port Miscellaneous > Air conditioning > Uninterruptible power supply > Effective backup strategy Recommended hardware CPU RAM Hard disk 3 GHz Dual-Core processor 4 GB SAS 10k RPM free space: 200 MB + estimated target size of the repository All files are stored in the Subversion repository.
