24 FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide

Two-machine alternative

You deploy the web server and Web Server Module on one worker machine, and you deploy the Web

Publishing Engine and the Database Server on a second (master) machine. In this deployment, you can

optionally locate the web server (worker) machine outside of a firewall, and the Web Publishing Engine and

the Database Server (master) machine can be located inside the firewall.

Benefits: This deployment might be better if someone else limits what you can install on the web server or

if your web server is heavily loaded with non-FileMaker content. However, because the Database Server and

Web Publishing Engine are on the same machine, this deployment faces the same scalability constraints as

the single-machine deployment.

Three-machine deployment

You deploy the web server and Web Server Module on one worker machine, deploy the Web Publishing

Engine on a second worker machine, and deploy the Database Server on a third (master machine). The web

server and Web Server Module are on a machine that serves as the request gateway, and you can optionally

use a firewall to separate them from the components on the other two machines.

Benefits: In general, this deployment performs slightly slower than the two-machine deployment for web

publishing because of the overhead to communicate with the separate web server machine. However, the

overhead is generally minimal and constant. In a very high-load environment, this deployment outperforms

the two-machine deployment because the web server is offloaded.
