  1. SX.e Network Configuration Session #30 Perry Jager & Steve Owsley

  2. Session Overview • Hardware • Topology • Services • Security • Access

  3. Hardware • Hubs/Switches

  4. Hardware • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls

  5. Hardware • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls • CSU/DSU Devices

  6. Hardware • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls • CSU/DSU Devices • Database Server

  7. Hardware • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls • CSU/DSU Devices • Database Server • Staging Server

  8. Hardware • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls • CSU/DSU Devices • Database Server • Staging Server • Domain Server

  9. Hardware - Data Center • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls • CSU/DSU Devices • Database Server • Staging Server • Domain Server • Clients

  10. Hardware - At the Branch • Hubs/Switches • Routers/Firewalls • CSU/DSU Devices • Code Server • Backup Domain Server (optional) • Clients

  11. Topology - Data Center • Full Client • Installs from Staging Server • Progress Local • SX.e Local • Direct Connection to Database Server

  12. Topology - Data Center • Network Client • Installs from Staging Server • Progress shared on Staging Server • SX.e shared on Staging Server • Direct Connection to Database Server

  13. Topology - Branch Office • Code Server • Installs from Staging Server • Progress local • SX.e local • Does not connect to the Database Server WAN

  14. Topology - Branch Office • Full Client • Installs from Code Server • Progress local • SX.e local • Direct connection to Database Server • Not dependant on CS after install • Updates - harder WAN

  15. Topology - Branch Office • Network Client • Installs from Code Server • Progress shared on Code Server • SX.e shared on Code Server • Direct Connection to Database Server • CS fails, client fails WAN

  16. Thin Client - Additional Hardware • Windows Terminal Server Host • Windows Based Terminals • Or, PC running Windows Terminal Server Client • Or, a combination of both

  17. Thin Client Topology - Data Center • Windows Terminal Server Host • Installs from Staging Server • Progress Local • SX.e Local • Direct Connection to Database Server

  18. Thin Client Topology - Data Center • Thin Client Terminals • Connect to Windows Terminal Server Host • Screen changes, Keyboard input, and Mouse movement go to and from terminal

  19. Thin Client Topology - Branch • Thin Client Terminals • Same as terminals in the Data Center WAN

  20. Citrix and Tarantella • Citrix • Add-on to Windows Terminal Server • Runs directly on the TS Host WAN

  21. Citrix and Tarantella • Citrix Advantages • Communication protocol (ICA) more efficient than RDP5 • Supports Sound • Seamless Windows interface • Management Interface WAN

  22. Citrix and Tarantella • Citrix Disadvantages • Additional Expense • Uses some additional processing power on Terminal Server Host WAN

  23. Citrix and Tarantella • Tarantella • Add-on to Windows Terminal Server • Runs on separate Tarantella Server WAN

  24. Citrix and Tarantella • Tarantella Advantages • Tarantella protocols more efficient than RDP5 • Convenient Management Interface WAN

  25. Citrix and Tarantella • Tarantella Advantages • Web based • No additional load on Terminal Server • Supports other protocols WAN

  26. Citrix and Tarantella • Tarantella Disadvantages • Additional Expense • Requires additional server(s) • Requires more specialized Thin Client Windows Based Terminals WAN

  27. Required Network Services • DNS • Internet Standard Name Lookups • Supplies information to Progress • Static information or Windows 2000 Domain Env

  28. Required Network Services • DNS in NT4.0 Env • If using DHCP, requires WINS • Allows Dynamic DNS • NTP in Win2K Env

  29. Optional Network Services • NTP in NT4.0 Env • Synchronize Time

  30. Optional Network Services • SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol • Statements • Alerts • Inter-Office Communication

  31. Network Security • Passwords • Require occasional changes • Do not allow re-use of previous passwords • Require numbers and/or special symbols Internet

  32. Network Security • Firewalls • Restricts access to hosts inside the network • Can restrict access to information on the Internet • May support tunneling protocols to Branch Offices Internet

  33. Network Access • SSH - Secure Shell • Encrypted Telnet access, over the Internet • Passwords and Data hidden from sniffers • SSH2.0 better than SSH1.0 Internet

  34. Network Access • Windows Terminal Server • Encrypted access, over the Internet • Passwords and Data hidden from sniffers • Can be set to “High” encryption Internet

  35. Network Access • pcAnywhere with “pcAnywhere” encryption required • Encrypts data to and from host • Allows network access - which is much faster Internet

  36. Summary • Hardware • Topology • Services • Security • Access
