It must be emphasized, however, that the optimal configuration for your deployment will vary depending upon your hardware configuration, your database software, and your reporting requirements. It is recommended that you contact your Crystal Decisions sales representative and request information about the Crystal Enterprise Sizing Guide. A Crystal Services consultant can then assess your reporting environment and assist in determining the configuration that will best integrate with your current environment.
Note: If you customize or expand your system beyond these common configurations without first contacting Crystal Services, your deployment may not be officially supported.
This section also provides the related procedures for adding and deleting servers from your Crystal Enterprise installation. Follow these steps when you need to add server components to a machine that is already running Crystal Enterprise.
Tip: If you are adding new hardware to Crystal Enterprise by installing server components on additional machines, run the Crystal Enterprise installation and setup program. The setup program allows you to perform an Expand installation. During the Expand installation, you specify the existing CMS whose system you want to expand, and you select the components that want to install on the local machine. For details, see the Crystal Enterprise Installation Guide.
