Table of contents Download Aternity on-premise for Setup Deploy or update Aternity on-premise deployment where each component has its own dedicated computer in larger deployments, or you can combine several components on the same computer for smaller deployments. The components of the Aternity on-premise solution are: Order for installing Aternity on-premise components Field Description Aternity Oracle Database Server The Aternity Oracle Database Server is an Oracle database which hosts the Aternity system settings, data model and performance data. Aternity Vertica Database Server The Aternity Vertica Database Server stores the performance data from the past 31 days in the Vertica format, which is most efficient for displaying in Aternity dashboards. Aternity Dashboard Server The Dashboard Server displays Aternity's intuitive dashboards using Tableau as its engine. Aternity Dashboard Gateway Server The Dashboard Gateway acts as the interface between the Dashboard Server and the Aternity Management Server, performing background tasks like preprocessing the data for display in the dashboards, and maintaining logs, audits and cleanup. It must be on the same computer as the Dashboard Server. While it has no user interface of its own, it is crucial to the proper functioning of Aternity. Aternity Management Server The Aternity Management Server acts as Aternity's central server, which manages and integrates all the components. When users access Aternity to view the dashboards or configure it, they access this server via a browser. Docker Components The Aternity Docker Components Server is one of the Aternity on-premise components that hosts all other Aternity docker containers which add functionality to Aternity. Most components are mandatory, but you can choose to add or omit some of those Docker containers from your deployment. Aternity Aggregation Server An Aggregation Server gathers (aggregates) the data directly from Agent for End User Devicess on monitored devices, and passes it on to the Management Server. Aternity Data Warehouse Server The Data Warehouse Server is part of the Aternity data flow and responsible for the initial analysis and processing of the data. It is a central piece in the Aternity architecture.The Data Warehouse Server stores the raw data gathered from the Aggregation Servers, and aggregates (summarizes) it for the Oracle Database Server and the Aternity Vertica Database Server. It constantly aggregates and re-summarizes data in the main database in the background, replacing older, more detailed data with summary data as it ages. Therefore older data typically has limited drill-down capabilities. Agent for End User Devices The Agent for End User Devices monitors end user experience by measuring device and application performance. It is a small background utility which runs on each monitored device, and reports its data to the Aternity Aggregation Server. Before you begin Decide on the size of your deployment, based on the number of devices to monitor. This directly determines the number of servers you need, and their hardware specifications. Important If your sizing requires that you deploy more than one dedicated Aternity Aggregation Server, you must deploy a third party load balancer (LB). Then configure the Agent for End User Devices of all devices to point to the LB's virtual IP address (learn more). Configure the LB with persistent (sticky) sessions to ensure the Agent maintains its connection with the same server. Aternity also supports sticky sessions also when the LB implements stickiness via cookies. Synchronize all Aternity components to have the same date, time AND time zone. Choose the network topology of your deployment, based on the location of your monitored devices. Set the firewalls to open the required ports between components, if you plan any of them to be on opposite sides of a firewall. Decide the security, whether you want to encrypt connections between some or all of the Aternity components. Strengthen robustness by determining the backup strategy and whether to have high availability with redundant servers. Ensure the servers meet the software system requirements for all components in the solution. ProcedureStep 1 Download the latest Aternity on-premise's main setup package from the Riverbed support site by selecting Software (size) (learn more). The setup package is for all Aternity servers. Download Aternity on-premise from the website There are also entries in the Useful Links section which are required for database setup. Step 2 If you are deploying Aternity in an air-gapped network, ensure you download the exact files you need, ahead of time.
