The web server and SQL server are typically located within a LAN environment connected at a minimum via a one (1) Gigabit switch. The web server and SQL server should be members of the same domain since it makes the specification of authentication requirements between the servers easier to configure.
If these servers are not members of a common domain or reside in different domains, then there will be additional authentication requirements and configuration time necessary.
Note: It is generally recommended that the SQL server be dedicated to DocuPhase, but there have been instances where the DocuPhase database has been co-located with other application databases. However, performance degradation can occur when another application begins to consume significant resources on the same SQL server.
