Centrally Hosted Regional Deployment, More than One Instance of AgilePoint Server
This diagram shows an example of a regional AgilePoint NX deployment with a more than one instance of AgilePoint Server.
Main Points
- Users from other regional teams do not have access to your region's processes since each instance gets its own database instance. This gives you strict control over your processes.
- Because each team has its own AgilePoint Server, business time calculation and holiday schedule can be effectively controlled for each region. As such, you will not have a task due on a holiday.
- Physical hardware cost can be controlled since all teams can share same physical hardware but at same time maintain their own database instance.
- In case you prefer to have centralized upgrades for all teams then this is a good option since you can run upgrade once on the server and all instances get upgraded.
- Upgrades cannot be planned independently so all teams need to plan for upgrades together.
- Offshore teams can notice some level of performance decrease if the network connection to remote server is not good.
