FOXMAN-UN Deployment Scenarios
General
Depending on the network size and the operation & maintenance organization, the various FOXMAN-UN components can be distributed on different workstations / PCs, and different locations. The appropriate license options must be ordered to enable the appropriate functionality.
FOXMAN-UN is implemented to run under the following operating systems:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
• Microsoft Windows® (client installation with GUIs only, i.e. NEM Desktop, NEM Configurator, and NEM Network Browser, plus Help).
For the specific hardware and OS requirements refer to the FOXMAN-UN Release Note.
FOXMAN-UN under Linux can be ordered and installed as:
• Full version (Core/Agent/GUIs),
• GUIs only (NEM Desktop, NEM Configurator, NEM Network Browser, plus Help, No Element Agent or Core Server functionalities).
FOXMAN-UN under Microsoft Windows® can replace a GUIs only installation or it can be used instead of any X-Terminal solution as e.g. !M, X2Go, Reflection-X, XMing, XManager as a faster solution.
The following examples are described below:
• Single user working on a single workstation,
• Multi-user environment (optionally with core redundancy),
• Network partitioning & regionally organized O&M (optionally with core redundancy),
• Integration to higher order management systems.
Please note:
In the context of the following deployment examples, the term Workstation (WS) is used for LINUX system, while the term Personal Computer (PC) stands for a Microsoft Windows® system.
Please note:
In the scenarios below, the NEM services on “Main” or “Standby” WS are active exclusively, i.e. WS A (Main) is active per default, and WS B (Standby) will only get active when the NEM services on WS A (Main) are down or WS A (Main) is unreachable.
