Components of a Content Services solution - Alfresco Content Services - 23.4 - 23.4 - Ready - Alfresco - external

This information gives an overview of the main components of your Content Services solution.

Within your solution, you have components such as Alfresco Share, Content Services, database, index (Solr), transformations, and the content store. As illustrated in the following diagram, some of these components can be clustered while others are optional.

Clusterable components:

• Alfresco Share
• Content Services
• Content store
• Database

Non-clusterable and replicable components:

• Transformation Server
• Solr 6 index

It is important to decide how many installations you need and which of the specified components you’ll put on which node.

To explain this further, let’s consider an example. Assume that your application has six nodes. Ideally, it’s recommended that you should have one component on each node. So, for example, node1 has database, node2 is content store, node3 is Content Services, node4 is Alfresco Share, node5 is Solr, and node6 is Transformation Server.

Use the following table as a template to design your solution.

However, you can configure your distribution differently. Each distribution and clustering solution has its own advantages and disadvantages. To configure distribution and clustering optimally, contact Alfresco Consulting or your Alfresco certified partner.
