Scaling SDL Tridion
Both on the Content Manager side and on the Content Delivery side, you can scale out your system to improve performance and increase the load to the system.
- Running an unattended install of the Content Manager server
You can run the installer executable from the command prompt, specifying a number of switches so that it can run and complete its task unattended. Running an unattended install of the Content Manager server is useful if you need to install Content Manager on a large number of machines. - Scaling Content Manager Server
You can improve SDL Tridion performance, by installing a Content Manager software component on a separate machine (scaling out), or the same component on multiple machines (scaling up). Most of these components require Content Manager and any local software components. You must install all components locally on the target machine. - Running an unattended install of Content Delivery Server Roles running as Windows Services
If you set up certain Server Roles (Monitoring Agent, Cache Channel Service, Content Deployer (other protocols)) as Windows Services, you used the Content Delivery installer. When the installer finishes, it gives you the option to save the installation settings to make it easier to reinstall the same Server Role on a different machine. This topic explains how to reinstall these Server Roles, unattended, on a new machine. - Scaling Content Delivery
You can scale Content Delivery by load balancing; by installing separate server roles on separate machines; by running the Content Deployer multi-threaded on one machine; by defining different publish behavior for staging sites or live sites; and by publishing different content to different servers based on BluePrinting.
