You can choose whether to install all Sybase CEP Engine components on the same computer, or distribute them among several computers.
If you are installing Sybase CEP Engine for development and testing purposes, you may find it easier to install both Sybase CEP Server and Sybase CEP Studio on a single computer. In a production environment, where you need to maximize performance, however, you may prefer to install Sybase CEP Server on a dedicated machine and to install Sybase CEP Studio on another machine.
If you are upgrading or reinstalling Sybase CEP Engine, determine whether you will install the new version in the same directory as the current version, or in a new directory. Note that installing a new version in the same directory as the older version overwrites the older version.
