Chapter 3 | Deploying FileMaker Server across multiple machines 23

1 Database Server: hosts the databases that you share with FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go

users and publish on the web. In a multiple-machine deployment, the machine running the

Database Server is called the master machine. See the description below.

1 Admin Console: runs in a web browser on any client computer from which you want to

configure and administer FileMaker

Server.

When you deploy FileMaker Server across two machines, one machine is always the master and

the other is a worker.

1 The master machine is always the machine on which the Database Server is deployed.

1 The worker machine is the machine that runs the Web Publishing Engine and the web server.

The master communicates with the worker to handle database requests from users, configure the

settings on all machines, and monitor the status and activity of all components.

Important To enhance the security of your database solution, especially on the Internet, consider

using a firewall on the public side of a FileMaker Server deployment. Also consider using SSL for

the web server. For more information on setting up security for web published solutions, see

http://www.filemaker.com/support.

The type of deployment you should use depends primarily on the web publishing load, as

summarized in the table below. For a greater web publishing load, you may want to use two

machines in your FileMaker Server deployment. You can first deploy on one machine and, if the

load increases over time, you can change the deployment later to use two machines.

FileMaker Server use Deployment type

FileMaker clients only Single machine with Database Server only. No benefit from a two-machine

deployment.

Solution development and testing Single machine with or without Web Publishing Engine. No benefit from a two-

machine deployment.

FileMaker clients and moderate

web publishing

Single machine with Database Server and Web Publishing Engine. Provides

good web publishing performance in most environments. You can expand to a

two-machine deployment later, if web publishing load increases.

FileMaker clients and heavy web

publishing load

Two machines. Deploy the Database Server on the master machine. Deploy the

Web Publishing Engine and web server on a worker machine.
