YSoft SafeQ comes as several micro services that can be deployed in several ways to favor different server landscapes or business requirements.

Scenario

When can it be used?

First server installation

  • YSoft SafeQ Management Server deployment

  • The first Management Server can be the only server in a single-server installation of YSoft SafeQ 6, and it has to be the first installed server in a multi-server installation of YSoft SafeQ 6.

    • If you are considering using the cluster of YSoft SafeQ Management Servers in the future, use an external high-available SQL server – the embedded database is deployed on one YSoft SafeQ Management Server only and, therefore, there is no failure resiliency and recovery procedures may take a long time to finish.

First server installation with an external Database

  • Install YSoft SafeQ 6 with an external MSSQL or PostgreSQL database.

First server installation with standalone data warehouse database

  • When high-availability, failure resiliency and data throughput are in demand

Site Server installation

  • Deploys dedicated Site Servers to various locations in the environment.

  • Required for customers with multiple interconnected locations where the remote locations are handled by independent Site Server(s) and the entire system is managed from one central location.

Management cluster installation

  • Connect multiple Management Servers in order to form a cluster

    • Make sure you use an external high-available SQL server during the installation of First server – an embedded database is deployed on one YSoft SafeQ Management Server only and, therefore, there is no failure resiliency and recovery procedures may take a long time to finish.

YSoft SafeQ 6 update

  • Updates any YSoft SafeQ 6 environment to a recent build.

  • Update does not allow altering the existing installation or configuration.

Advanced Scenario

When can it be used?

Unattended installation and update

  • Install or update YSoft SafeQ 6 automatically via a script or any central management tool.

Upgrading from YSoft SafeQ 5

YSoft SafeQ in Public Cloud

  • Describes how organizations are using YSoft SafeQ 6 in public cloud.

If port 80 is selected in the installer for the YSoft SafeQ management interface, then the IIS site called "Default Web Site" is deleted from IIS after installation as the site overrides system settings and uses port 80 instead of the YSoft SafeQ management interface. If IIS was already installed before and you select this option, please make sure that there is not an important site named "Default Web Site" configured in the external IIS otherwise it will be deleted.

YSoft SafeQ 6 can be deployed in various environments. However, each case must be considered and analyzed individually. Please consult any special uses of YSoft SafeQ 6 with Y Soft representatives.
