Prerequisites by Role

There are several roles that servers play in a K2 Environment. One server may play multiple roles, or many servers may be clustered together to perform a single role. The K2 Installer will determine which platform version is being used and will install K2 blackpearl components accordingly. For all intents and purposes, the requirements for installing a 64-bit installation are identical to its 32-bit counterpart.

The following sections will describe the prerequisites for each role listed below:

K2 blackpearl Roles
	K2 Server Runs the K2 Host Server
	Web Server Runs the K2 Workspace on top of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
	SharePoint Server Runs the K2 for SharePoint components
	Reporting Services Server Runs the K2 for Reporting Services component on top of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services
	Database Server Houses the K2 Databases on top of Microsoft SQL Server
	Client Machine Runs the client based K2 Designers
