Design

The Arellia Management Server (AMS) runs on Windows-based servers. It comprises a number of extensible .NET components that run on Internet Information Services (IIS), along with agent components that install as a service on the managed computers. 

The server utilizes Microsoft SQL Server as a database. You can install it locally on the AMS or remotely (off-box).

We recommend you install the AMS on a dedicated server, rather than sharing with other services. However, depending on your load, it the AMS will function without issues in a small or test environments as long as the prerequisites are met and do not conflict with other services on the server. 

Knowing what needs to be installed on the server is critical. Install the following components in the following order:

  1. SQL Database (if used locally)
  2. IIS
  3. Microsoft Web Platform Installer
  4. AMS
