Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Deployment Planning Guide

Sun Enterprise Midframe Line

Normally, for a production environment, you would deploy Portal Server and Secure Remote Access on separate machines. However, in the case of the Sun EnterpriseTM midframe machines, which support multiple hardware domains, you can install both Portal Server and Secure Remote Access in different domains on the same Sun Enterprise midframe machine. The normal CPU and memory requirements that pertain to Portal Server and Secure Remote Access still apply; you would implement the requirements for each in the separate domains.

In this type of configuration, pay attention to security issues. For example, in most cases the Portal Server domain is located on the intranet, while the Secure Remote Access domain is in the DMZ.
