■ The diagram below illustrates basic configuration of the system. ■ For dual configuration, implementation of load balance, dual distribution servers, multiple parallel operation using Tomcat’s clustering, and DBMS clustering can be reviewed. ■ Configuration of the physical servers can be duplexed and weight lightened based on the feasibility.

※ The configuration above is a logical configuration. Flexible configuration is allowed depending on the number of connected users and size of contents, but 2 physical servers + a storage are recommended. ※ A Windows server is needed for conversion of Office files into PDF. ※ Exclusive Push Message server is required to use push message on Android. ※ Remote connection server is required to use meeting room function.
