Figure 7. Siebel Data Warehouse Deployment Configuration

• Component 1 hosts all the ETL servers, that is, the Informatica Server, Informatica Repository Server, and the DAC server.

  NOTE:  You can install the Informatica Server on other machines as well to increase performance. The other ETL servers can also be hosted on other machines.

• Component 2 hosts all the ETL clients, that is, the Informatica client tools and the DAC client.
• Components 3 and 4 are database instances that can be hosted on one or more machines. The hardware requirements are entirely dependent on your usage and performance requirements. It is highly recommended that each of these components be defined in their own database instance to allow for instantiating parameters that are optimized for each component's usage.

NOTE:  For more detailed information about system requirements, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Siebel Business Analytics Applications on Siebel SupportWeb.
