Applications Manager Enterprise Edition Installation
Business organizations that have data centers distributed across various geographical locations comprise of a multitude of resources that host thousands of servers, Virtual Machines (VMs), applications, and databases. These organizations might expand dynamically over time based on business requirements, which in turn multiplies their resources as well. Managing and monitoring all those servers individually can be tedious and can sometimes cause slowdown due to dynamic increase in loads on these data centers, hindering the efficiency of the business operations overall.
The Enterprise Edition allows you to monitor multiple servers and applications hosted across data centers in a distributed setup, wherein you can configure independent Applications Manager installations (Managed Server) to monitor resources across data centers and collectively manage them from a single central installation (Admin Server). It helps you in managing multiple NOCs and data centers located across various geographic locations and constantly monitors them from a single centralized console, thereby facilitating proper load distribution, reducing network latency and ensuring high availability.

Browse through the following topics to learn how you can install Applications Manager Enterprise Edition on various OS platforms:
Note:
- In Enterprise setup, you must first configure the Admin Server and then configure the Managed Server separately.
- Before installing the Managed Server, make sure the build numbers of the Admin Server as well as the Managed Server are the same. In case of mismatch, the new Managed Server will not start and a build mismatch error will appear in the Wrapper.log file located under the logs folder.
- The Managed server installation process involves accessing the Admin server information directly from the installation panel. To experience an uninterrupted installation process, ensure that the Admin server is operational and reachable from the Managed server while it is being installed.
- To know your build number, check the stderr or StartUpLogs_out file(s) located under logs folder in the Applications Manager parent folder.
