Adding platform servers

Platform servers include Active Directory servers, MS SQL database servers, provisioning engine servers, and control panel servers. These servers perform platform tasks such as provisioning services and hosting control panels. You add platform servers when you want to increase the capacity of your Ensim Unify system.

To add a platform server, you need to prepare the server, join it to the domain, and install system software on it. For specific instructions, see the Ensim Unify Getting Started Guide for Service Providers.

After you add provisioning engine or control panel servers, you can manage them through the service provider control panel; you do not manage Active Directory or MS SQL servers through the control panel.
