About Product-Based Installation

Product-based installation provides a combination of features not specific to a node. This is the preferred installation type for a stand-alone product installation.

If you are familiar with System Platform products and their associated components, you can opt for a product-based installation, and then choose the components that you need. For example if you need to install InTouch® with the default options, then select a product-based installation.

Important: Product-based installation includes an option to install the InTouch Access Anywhere Secure Gateway. The Secure Gateway can only be installed on a computer running a supported version of the Windows Server operating system (minimum: Windows Server 2016). To ensure security, no other System Platform components should be installed on the node.

In the table below, components that are selected by default when you select the corresponding product are indicated by the letters R (for required), and O (for optional). Required means that the component must remain selected to install the product. Optional means that you can deselect the component and retain the remaining product functionality. Products definitions (columns 2 through 9) are as follows:

• AS + GR: Application Server (with Galaxy Repository)

• AS no GR: Application Server (without Galaxy Repository)

• IT: InTouch (HMI)

• ITAA: InTouch Access Anywhere

• ITAA SG: InTouch Access Anywhere Secure Gateway

• ITAA AS: InTouch Access Anywhere Authentication Server

• HS: Historian Server
