Installation Scenarios

Sybase Event Stream Processor offers typical and custom installations. A custom installation lets you select which components you install. A typical installation includes all components.

Sybase Event Stream Processor includes:

• Server – performs the core analytics and processing of stream data.
• Base adapters – the base Event Stream Processor license includes both internal and external adapters. Internal adapters run inside server processes, while external adapters access server processes through external APIs such as the Java SDK. Both types of adapters either read data from external sources and convert them to Event Stream Processor format, or convert data from Event Stream Processor format and write it to external sources. Internal adapters automatically install with the server. You can choose to install external adapters with the server, or on another machine entirely.
• Studio – provides a graphic view of an Event Stream Processor project, allowing you to create, modify, and monitor projects without programming knowledge.

The NYSE Technologies enterprise adapter, Reuters Marketfeed adapter, and Reuters OMM adapter are provided with their own installation media when you purchase licenses for them. The Open and FIX adapters are provided on the installation media for Event Stream Processor (accessed through the Custom install option), but require an additional license to run. You can install enterprise adapters on any machine that has network access to the machine hosting the server.

A typical installation installs the Server, Studio, and adapters on a single machine. You can distribute your installation by installing the Server and Studio on several machines, then use an Event Stream Processor server cluster to run projects from the remote machines.

Whether you install a typical or distributed system, you can create a server cluster during the installation. A server cluster lets you run multiple projects simultaneously, provides failover, and lets you configure centralized security for your system.

Your network infrastructure, geographic setup, and overall event processing needs will determine the type of installation that is best for you.

You can use either the graphic installer or the console (command line) installer for both typical and distributed installations.

You can also use the silent installer to install multiple instances of the Server and Studio.

• Cluster Configuration
  You can configure a server cluster for your Event Stream Processor environment. You can then deploy projects to the cluster to run them securely and with high availability.
• Performing a Typical Installation
  In a typical installation, install the base adapters, ESP Server, and ESP Studio on a single machine.
• Performing a Distributed Installation
  In a distributed installation, install Event Stream Processor to different machines. On each machine, you can install the Server and Studio only; the Server and Studio with any combination of external and enterprise adapters; or any combination of external and enterprise adapters without the Server and Studio.
• Running a Silent Installation
  A silent installation installs Sybase ESP Server and Sybase ESP Studio without the conventional prompts used in a standard installation.
