Distributed server deployment

In a distributed server deployment, the InForm Application Server, the Cognos Report Server, the Cognos Content Manager Server, the Cognos Gateway Server, the Oracle Directory Server, and the study and reporting databases are on separate server machines that conform to InForm hardware and software requirements.

For example, a distributed server deployment might include at least nine server machines configured as follows:

One InForm Application server machine.
One Cognos Gateway Server.
One Cognos Private Gateway Server
One Cognos Report Application Server.
One Cognos Content Manager Server.
One Oracle Directory Server machine.
Three dedicated Oracle database server machines:
- InForm database instance.
- InForm reporting database instance.
- Cognos 10 BI Content Store database instance.
