Planning your deployment

Web Services requires the Cassandra NoSQL database management system, so when planning your deployment you also need to consider the Cassandra topology. Three common Cassandra topologies are generally used for Workspace Web Edition & Web Services:

  • Development: One Cassandra node (appropriate for a development or lab environment)
  • Single Data Center: One data center with a minimum of three Cassandra nodes
  • Two Data Centers: Two data centers with a minimum of three Cassandra nodes in each data center

The number of Web Services nodes in your deployment scenario depends on a variety of factors. Please consult with Genesys for help to determine the correct number of nodes for your solution.

For development scenarios, you can install Cassandra and Web Services on the same host.

Important
  • For single data center and two data center scenarios, you must install Cassandra and Web Services on separate hosts.
  • For production environments, each Genesys Web Services, Cassandra, and Elastic Search node must run on a dedicated Virtual Machine. For optimal performance, at least 4 cores and 16 GB of RAM for each VM with strict resources reservation is recommended.

Whichever deployment scenario you decide to implement, follow the same basic deployment steps:
