An Application Server reduces the load on the Web Server(s) by handling select aspects of Chancery SMS; for example a district can have one or more Application Servers that run scheduling services, reporting services, active directory integration, or printing. Many of these services are background tasks that are best run on Application Servers.
We recommend that each Application Server have the following characteristics:
| = | Dual Intel Xeon 3.2GHz HTT processors with 1MB Cache or better |
Or dual AMD Opteron processors, Model 852 or better
| = | 4 GB RAM |
| = | Dual 36 GB drives |
We recommend that the drives be configured as RAID1 to provide redundancy in case of failure.
| = | Two network interface cards |
| = | Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 32-bit or Windows Server 2008 R1 32-bit |
| = | Chancery SMS Web Components |
| = | Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, 4.0 |
