1.1 Installation Overview

PlateSpin®Portability Suite provides a single installation program for both PlateSpin®Migrate and

PlateSpin®Protect products. The program checks your system for the necessary prerequisites and

interactively installs the required software components.

The production configuration of both PlateSpin®Migrate and PlateSpin®Protect products consists

of the same set of software components:

A database server: Portability Suite works with Microsoft* SQL Server* 2005. If you do not

have a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database server, you can use a Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Express Edition database server included with your Portability Suite distribution.

Portability Suite Server: The runtime execution engine underlying both PlateSpin®Migrate

and PlateSpin®Protect products.

Portability Suite Client: Client software for user interaction with the Portability Suite Server.

These components can be either collocated on a single host or installed on separate hosts.
