Server Deployment

When considering a centralised or distributed deployment model of Digi-CA™ [1], one must consider the fact, that Digi-CA™ requires a pre-established network infrastructure that is a key objective to a successful deployment of this system.

Although Digi-CA™ does not require, or rely on, a specific network design, careful network architecture planning [2] is strongly recommended prior to the deployment of this system. Diagrams below – as an example only - illustrate two most common deployment methodologies, one with all Service Modules centralised on a single server and the other with distributed services as an alternative.
