Monitoring Server topology
Updated: 2009-04-30
There are two topologies for PerformancePoint Monitoring Server: stand-alone and distributed.
A stand-alone topology has all Monitoring Server components installed on a single computer. The primary purpose for a stand-alone installation is for testing and evaluation.
A distributed topology has Monitoring Server installed on multiple computers. A distributed installation can be scaled up or out as more users are added.
Performance data can be found in this white paper (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb660539.aspx) to help guide your choices regarding individual server configurations.
PerformancePoint Server 2007 support for extranets, hosting and external connector
Extranets (specifically, authenticating users on computers that are not joined to a trusted Active Directory directory service domain) are not supported by PerformancePoint Server 2007. We are investigating options to provide this support in a future release.
PerformancePoint Server 2007 does not support single-server multi-tenant environments. Customers must deploy multiple servers to achieve a multi-tenant environment for data or user accounts. We are investigating options to provide this support in a future release.
The External Connector (EC) license does not imply or declare product capability (such as extranet or hosting support). The EC is simply an alternative licensing model to CALs that permits any number of external users with a valid Active Directory domain account on a computer joined to a trusted domain to access PerformancePoint Server 2007.
