The minimum  system installation comprises of a single Platform container. The Platform and any other available pico processes may run in the Platform Container.

In order to scale out the system, you may install additional Execution Containers for your EC/ECSAs, and SCs. Additional Platform Containers may exist in a system, for high availability, but only one can be active at a time.

Many operations can be performed via the Command Line Tool or the Web Interface. However, some operations can only be performed from the Desktop user interface that are installed on separate Windows clients.

The Web Interface and Command Line Tool are automatically installed with the Platform Containers, Executions Containers.

The Platform Container host needs to have the Java Development Kit installed prior to the installation. The Java Runtime Environment is sufficient for Desktops and Execution Containers.

Network

It is common that the hosts are protected by one or more firewalls. In order for the communication between the various components of the system to work, you may need to update your firewall settings. For further information, about firewall settings, see 4.1 Communication Through Firewalls in the System Administrator's Guide.
