# Installation

The following pages will provide you with all the information how to install the different Netwrix
Password Secure components.
This section covers how to install each Netwrix Password Secure component.

## System landscape

The following overview presents a basic production Netwrix Password Secure system landscape. Version
9 allows the use of several database servers across all sites. These are then synchronized using
Microsoft SQL server tools. Any number of application servers can be made available for the client
connection. This ensures load distribution, and allows work without significant latency. This
technology offers enormous performance advantages, particularly in the case of installations that
are spread across worldwide locations.
A basic production Netwrix Password Secure system landscape consists of the three tiers described below. Version 9 supports multiple database servers across all sites, and Microsoft SQL Server tools synchronize them. You can deploy any number of application servers to handle client connections, which distributes load and reduces latency. This is especially valuable for installations spread across multiple geographic locations.

## Client (presentation layer)

The client layer handles the representation of all data and functions, which are provided by the
application server.
The client layer handles the presentation of all data and functions that the application server provides.

## Application server (business logic)

The application server is entirely responsible for the control of the business logic. This server
only ever delivers the data for which the corresponding permissions are available. The multi-tier
architecture described at the beginning allows the use of several application servers and ensures
efficient load distribution.
The application server controls all business logic and only delivers data for which the corresponding permissions exist. The multi-tier architecture supports multiple application servers, ensuring efficient load distribution.

## Database server (data storage)

Netwrix Password Secure uses Microsoft SQL Server to store data due to its widespread use, and its
ability to ensure high-performance access even in large and geographically scattered environments.
Smaller installations may also use the free SQL Express version.
Netwrix Password Secure uses Microsoft SQL Server for data storage, which provides high-performance access in large and geographically distributed environments. Smaller installations can use the free SQL Express edition.

## Conclusion
## Recommended server configuration

At least three servers are thus recommended:
Use a minimum of three servers:

- Database server (MSSQL)
- Application server (Netwrix Password Secure services)
- Web server (IIS, NginX, Apache 2)

**CAUTION:** For databases in a production system, we recommend using a fail-safe cluster. Microsoft
SQL Server can replicate the data to a different data centre, e.g via WAN. We also recommend
providing a Windows server for each function. Separating the systems makes it easier to expand and
scale the system landscape at a later point. However, it is not absolutely necessary to separate the
systems. Accordingly, all of the components can also be installed on one server in the case of
smaller installations or test environments.
:::warning
For production systems, use a fail-safe database cluster. Microsoft SQL Server can replicate data to a different data center, for example via WAN. Also use a dedicated Windows Server for each role — separating roles makes it easier to expand and scale the environment later. For smaller installations or test environments, you can install all components on a single server.
