Planning your iMIS architecture

The server architecture of iMIS allows you to install all the components onto a single appserver, for simple client/server architecture, or spread the components across multiple appservers, for better performance in larger organizations.

The installation process automates many steps, but you must be clear about the configuration you want in order to manage the process successfully. In planning your architecture, your task is to map out
