Breeze Deployment Guide Breeze Deployment Guide is a supplement to Breeze Installation Guide. This deployment guide offers additional information about installation configurations, and firewalls and proxies, as well as guidelines for successful deployment. About Breeze technology A Macromedia Breeze installation includes components that interact to form a total solution.
For two computers to communicate over the Internet, the client computer must have the IP address of the server computer. Typically, the client uses a domain name such as www.mycompany.com, and a name server translates the IP address of the server. To send information to a specific application running on the server, the client must also know the port for that application. For example, most web servers listen to port 80.
Common configurations The previous figure in this document illustrates a common configuration for enterprise customers. For small- to medium-sized customers with simple network configurations, installing all Breeze server components on a single server is a viable solution. As an alternative, consider using two separate servers, as the following figure shows: The Breeze Presentation and Breeze Training server is installed on one computer, and the Breeze Live server is installed on a different computer.
Additional configuration guidelines The following are additional guidelines to help you set up your network and Domain Name Service (DNS): Static IP addressees Breeze does not support static IP addresses to access the server. Many websites and systems let you access their content by entering either a URL, such as www.search.com, or an IP address, such as 66.252.27.402. You must set up a domain name for your Breeze server and map that to the proper IP address using either a DNS server or a .hosts file.
A conflict arises when you install all Breeze components on the same server with a firewall or proxy server. The Breeze Presentation and Breeze Training server uses port 80, and Breeze Live also uses port 80 if ports 1935 and 443 do not work. You then have two applications running on the same server with the same IP address using the same port.
SSL Support Breeze requires an SSL accelerator to support encrypted communication over the Internet. You can use a hardware solution, such as F5 BigIP SSL accelerator, to improve results. Macromedia recommends using hardware solutions, due to the high bandwidth requirements of streaming media. Macromedia does not recommend using software SSL solutions. The Internet uses well-known ports for nonencrypted HTTP-based web traffic and encrypted HTTPS-based web traffic.
