System configurations

You can install RICOH ProcessDirector with various system configurations. The hardware configurations can include:

• Primary computer
• Primary computer with one or more secondary servers on the same computer
• Primary computer with an application server on a Windows computer
• Primary computer with one or more secondary servers on different computers
• Primary computer with a backup (failover) computer and an NFS-mounted file system

  In this configuration, only one primary server can be running at a time. System objects are created and stored on the mounted file system, so they can be accessed from the backup computer in case of a hardware failure or other outage.

Example of a system configuration shows a configuration of RICOH ProcessDirector with the AFP Support feature. The configuration has a primary server and a secondary server on a separate Linux computer. It also shows RICOH ProcessDirector components, including the optional RICOH Transform features, and the optional products you might use with RICOH ProcessDirector, including Download for z/OS and AFP Download Plus.

Example of a configuration with active and backup computers using an NFS server shows a configuration with two primary computers (an active and a backup) and an NFS server that holds their shared file systems.
