Architecture

Business Edition Premise overview

Overview

Depending on your business needs, you can install the Business Edition Premise platform in one of two ways:

  • As a single-VM platform, consisting of one VM installed on a single Dell R430 server running VMware ESXi 5.5.
  • As a multi-VM platform, consisting of five VMs installed on a single Dell R720 or Dell R420 server running VMware ESXi 5.5.

Both platforms include the following features and components:

  • Genesys software components, such as Framework, LCA/GDA, 3rd party Components (Apache Tomcat), eServices, Routing, and SIP Server, and the PostgreSQL configuration database
  • Database features, including MS SQL Server, Genesys DB Servers, Genesys InfoMart, and RAA
  • Genesys Voice Platform features, including Voice Platform components such as Media Control Platform and Resource Manager
  • User interfaces, such as Genesys Administrator and Genesys Administrator Extension, IWS, Pulse, and GI2

After installation and initial configuration, the Business Edition Premise server is a basic Genesys 8 suite, which customers can extend with additional Genesys applications and functionality.

Multi-VM roles

In a multi-VM deployment, the five VMs play specific roles:

  • Core VM includes core Genesys software components such as Framework, Routing, and SIP Server, as well as the PostgreSQL configuration database
  • DB VM includes MS SQL Server, Genesys DB Servers, Genesys InfoMart, and RAA
  • GVP VM includes Voice Platform components such as Media Control Platform and Resource Manager
  • UI VM includes user interfaces such as Genesys Administrator and Genesys Administrator Extension, IWS, Pulse, and GI2
  • Aux VM includes some Genesys Framework components (LCA/GDA), 3rd party components (Apache Tomcat), and room for additional packages such as eServices (required for email and chat functionality)
