Arellia Management Server
Installation and Planning
Design
The AMS server is comprised of a number of extensible .NET components that run on Internet Information Server (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 either install it locally on the AMS server or remotely (off-box).
Planning
We recommend a dedicated a server for AMS to use, rather than sharing with other services. However, depending on your load, it 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.
Interacting with the Server
Once the server is installed, most work can be performed from your desktop browser without the need to remotely access the server console, including setting up the database and installing products on the AMS server.
