Server Topology Overview

The diagram in Figure 7 shows the servers and components that are required to deploy Direct Server Sync. The components are the Siebel database, Siebel server, Siebel Web engine, and Siebel Handheld. The synchronization components are the Siebel Sync engine which resides on Siebel server and the Sync client on Siebel Handheld.

NOTE:  Companion Sync uses Siebel Remote to complete the synchronization process to the Siebel server from the laptop. For more information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.

You can improve performance by properly selecting the machine that each server runs on (Web server, Siebel server, database server). For example, increasing the memory and number of spindles improves the database server performance, and increasing the number of CPUs and the amount of memory improves the performance of the application server.
