Should Islandora be on its own server?

[Lindsey MacCallum]

Hi all,

We're setting up an instance of Islandora at Mount Saint Vincent University, and I'm hoping to get some advice on the server side of things; we're already running Access to Memory (AtoM) and OJS on a server, and our initial thought was to install Islandora on that server as well, to keep all of our open source platforms together. However, Islandora is quite a bit more complex than the other two, and we're not sure if it would be better in the long run to put Islandora on its own server, separate from other applications. Any advice or feedback on this issue?

Thanks,

Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,

in my experience, since islandora 6.x, I always separated fedora back-end from islandora front-end. For network/system admin is better to manage 2 different machines allowing independent update/reboot/start stop services.
In the last installation (here step-by-step guide http://dev.digibess.it/doku.php?id=reloaded) I used a 3-server conf (back-end, front-end and IIIF server). Take into account that is also useful on back-end different containers for Fedora, Solr, Blazegraph for the same manageability reasons.

Best,

Giancarlo
