What are the Network Deployment Requirements?

This section lists the requirements that you must have to support the network in Commerce Server 2009 deployments. It contains information about the network hardware that you must have to connect each server in your deployment. Use this information as a guideline to comply with any existing standards and practices for the network operations in your organization. The actual hardware requirements might vary depending on your specific environment.

For the network in any one of the prescribed deployment architectures, the following hardware products are required:

  • Two 16-port switches (four in the enterprise deployment)

  • Two 4-port switches

  • Five x86-based (or x64-based) servers (23 in the enterprise deployment)

  • One external SCSI hard disk array (certified to support dual hosts/clustering)

  • Two SCSI hard disks

  • Two SCSI to SCSI host cables to connect the external hard disk array

  • One external, static IP address together with the associated domain name

  • Six network cables (33 cables in the enterprise deployment)

In an enterprise deployment, you also need two shared storage drives with four 72 GB SCSI hard disks configured as a single 25.0 GB RAID1 or RAID10 logical drive (do not use RAID0 or RAID5 logical drives).

You should consider using a Storage Area Network (SAN) device to enhance the security and performance of file retrieval.
