__TOC__
==Overview==
This guide is intended for installers who are setting up a version of the platform for application building and testing. A typlical deployment would look something like this:

'''Installation Components'''
The key points depicted in the diagram are:
:* The platform is deployed on a single server.
:* Memcached reduces response time by caching data in memory.<br/>''Learn more:'' [[Configuring memcached]]
:* Ehcache reduces response time by caching data in memory.<br/>''Learn more:'' [[Configuring Ehcache]]
:* Background processes <tt>import</tt>, <tt>export</tt>, and the <tt>quartz</tt> scheduler are running on the same server.
:* Document storage (which includes pictures and image files) is managed separately from the database.
:* The database is running on the same server, for ease of deployment.
:* The database is not replicated, as this deployment optimized for small-scale performance.

'''Additional Resources'''
:* To create a fully optimized production installation that utilizes database replication and multiple servers, use the [[Platform Installation Guide]]
:* To learn more about the latest release, see the [[ISV Release Notes]]
:* See also these additional resources for installation and configuration:
::* [[networking.properties]]
::* [[Service Provider Settings]]

=== Set Up the Initial Tenant ===
At this point, you are working with the tenant administration interface. The next step is to create a tenant. Logging into that tenant brings up the application interface, where you can build, load, and run applications. (It also makes recovery easier, should you make a mistake. For example, were to you "delete all", you could always create a new tenant, since the underlying platform would be unaffected.)

You are now ready to begin application development or install an existing application for testing.<br>See the [[Welcome]] page for links to additional information on those subjects.
