Relay Server Installation

A Relay Server installation meets longer-term needs, and it is required for Relay Server functionality in an Unwired Platform production system.

Note: The information about Relay Servers in this section intended for planning purposes only. To install Relay Servers, see Installing Relay Servers and Configuring Relay Servers and Outbound Enablers.

In a local installation, each Relay Server is deployed on a Web server host, on the DMZ subnet.

You must provision network resources and an appropriate Web server host for each Relay Server. All Relay Server hosts must meet the requirements specified in Supported Hardware and Software for:

Minimum host resources (CPU, RAM, and local storage space)
Operating system (including edition, version, and Service Pack)
Web server application and version

Relay Servers
Relay Server acts as a reverse proxy for client devices communicating with the Unwired Server.
Outbound Enablers
Each Unwired Server instance relies on one or more Outbound Enablers (RSOEs) to manage its communications with Relay Server. Relay Server relies on the RSOE to initiate communications from an Unwired Server.
Relay Server Clusters
A Relay Server cluster enables load balancing and redundant Relay Servers, to improve system availability.
