Dispatcher in same box with Publish Server

Jul 29, 2012 8:19 PM

Hi,

 

I am new in CQ5.

Is there any side effect/potential issue if I have a Dispatcher in the same box with a Publish server?

Assuming there will be 3 boxes, 1 Author and 2 Publish servers (with Dispatcher in one of them).

 

Thank you for the help.

 

Kent

    You could have both the publish & dispatcher instances on the same machine if this machine have enough power.

    Generally for security & you use dispatcher to gain Increased response time, fail-safe coverage & flexibility. The publish instance is usually inside the firewall and calls to it are through the dispatcher which is in DMZ.

    In case both Publish & dispatcher in same box, make sure there is firewall setting to avoid direct access to publish instance from external network.

    If Webserver with Dispatcher compared to standard IIS/Apache Webserver, is there any significant difference in resource usage?

    Static content is handled with exactly the same speed and ease as on a static web server. For dynamic content it really deponds on your architecture. So far I have not seen any performance or resource issue in web server due to include of dispatcher apache module/isapi filter.   One of load testing report that includes resource sizes at
