I need some assistance. Currently I have one Netware 6.5 server and one
UNIX
(AIX) box. We are in the process of contracting with a new CIS vendor.
Their application runs on Windows (which will replace the UNIX box). The
vendor's application runs on windows with an SQL database and I will also
need a web server for a separate module which will allow our customers to
access account data online.
I haven't had any experience with Windows server since NT4. I've received a
quote from a vendor to install the infrastructure. However, they indicated
that I need 5 servers for the implementation which include:
Citrix
SQL
Web Server
2 Domain Controllers.
I would think that if the app runs on windows, I do not need the citrix
server. The clients would connect through a terminal emulation or web
browser - guess that I need to clarify that with the vendor. Additionally,
I would think that with 2 domain controllers, one could run the vendor app
and the other sql. Does this make sense? I am also confused that the
vendor indicates that I need 5 Windows Server 2003 Standard licenses.
Aren't Citrix and SQL their own OSs?
Additionally, the vendor indicated that authentication for their app could
be through windows authentication or SQL. So, if I choose SQL, is there a
need to set up users in the domain? Sort of use these as stand alone
servers.
I am very confused. I have looked into attending training, but much of the
implementation and deployment seems focuses on dns / wins / dhcp and such
services. These are not something that I need or would use. DNS and DHCP
are running on my netware server.
Appreciate any assistance or insight into this.
Thanks,
Janet
