Deployment Models

These are just a few deployment models to get started. These might be considered the most basic deployment models. More sophisticated deployment models are covered in advanced documention.

A Road Warrior with a Laptop

The most popular deployment model to get started is to place both the service containers and an Rcore on a single wireless laptop. This allows the user to take Ridgeback on the road and attach to any wireless network in an instant.

All of Ridgeback can be installed on a wireless laptop.

More Fun than a Barrel of Laptops

Another popular deployment model is to have the service containers on one wireless laptop, and an Rcore on a different wireless laptop.

Ridgeback can be installed across two wireless computers.

The Monolith

For small organizations that want to keep a Ridgeback server in the closet, putting the service containers and an Rcore on a single computer is an option.

Enterprise-Ready

Ready to scale up to the big time? Put the service containers on a server, and then put Rcores on other computers. Any computer running an Rcore, anywhere in the enterprise, can stream its data to the computer with the service containers. (The computer running the service containers can actually be anywhere, even in the cloud.)
