Deployment topologies
You can use the deployment toolkit to deploy i2 Analyze in a number of different physical topologies. Throughout the process of creating a production deployment, you might use several of them depending on your purpose at the time.
The following diagrams show the servers that are used in each deployment topology, the prerequisites that are required on each server, and the components of i2 Analyze that are deployed.
i2 Connect gateway only (single server)
In the i2 Connect gateway only deployment, all of the components of i2 Analyze are on the same server. No database management system is required.
On the i2 Analyze server, install the prerequisites by following these instructions:
Single server
In the single-server topology, all of the components of i2 Analyze are on the same server.
On the i2 Analyze server, install the prerequisites by following these instructions:
Multiple servers
In the multiple-server topology, each component of i2 Analyze is on its own server.
In the diagram, Liberty, Solr, ZooKeeper, and the Information Store (or the Chart Store) are each deployed on their own server.
You can also have a multiple-server deployment topology in which any of number of the components are located on the same server.
On the Liberty server, install i2 Analyze, the database management system client, and optionally the HTTP server:
On your database management server, install your database management system:
On each Solr and ZooKeeper server, install i2 Analyze:
