Planning your deployment

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

• Development — 1 Cassandra node (appropriate for a development or lab environment)
• Single Datacenter — 1 datacenter with a minimum of three Cassandra nodes
• Two Datacenters — 2 datacenters with a minimum of three Cassandra nodes in each datacenter

The number of Workspace Web Edition & 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 Workspace Web Edition & Web Services on the same host.

Important

For Single Datacenter and Two Datacenter scenarios, you must install Cassandra and Workspace Web Edition & Web Services on separate hosts.

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