The Desktop and Laptop Option Server components include the Administration Server, Administration Console, Maintenance Server, Dedupe Server, Storage, Database, IO Server and Edge Server. These components can be installed as a ‘Standalone’ setup in the same machine or can be installed as a ‘Distributed’ setup, across different server machines. The IO Server and Edge Server are optional components that need to be configured only when opting for the Backup over Internet (BOI) capability that allows VPN-less backups.
The hardware configuration for a standalone setup with 1000 or less endpoints for both Non-BOI and BOI modes are as follows:
