The following diagram outlines the configuration of a content development environment:
This diagram illustrates several important concepts about the content development environment:
The content development environment uses a versioned database schema. The asset management server’s database schema is configured to store successive versions of assets, including version metadata.
Because a production environment does not use a versioned database schema, it is isolated from the content development environment.
Versioned repository assets and file asset metadata are stored in the versioned database. The actual versioned file assets are stored in a file system.
To facilitate scalability, and improve performance and reliability, you can cluster multiple asset management servers.
