Deployment Platform/Deployment
Deployment scenarios
The following list describes common deployment scenarios where Harmonic Distribution might be useful. The final model might be an intermediate variant of them tuned by third-party distributor for local needs.
- Internet server
There is a master server located on the Internet in a highly accessible place for any maintenance work. Users are always connected to the Internet and the master server.
- Gateway server
The school server has Internet connectivity and serves it into the local network where it can be used by clients. Users are always connected to their school server via the Intranet.
- Offline server
When the school server itself and clients it serves are in an Internet-less environment with only one way to be synchronized with the outer world, sneakernet.
