Some MV products are essentially stand-alone code and can run
with or without supporting infrastructure. For example, you can
run CMF (an RMF alternative) as a plain-jane standalone product.
It has less function when used this way, but you can do it. Others
(e.g. MV-AO) have both product and infrastructure in the one bundle
and do not require separate server address spaces 

But most of the products require the MV infrastructure. At present 
that is a separate started task that provides common services as
well as being the communications hub for multisystem communication.

Depending on your options you may also have one or more additional 
server address spaces, e.g. the MVE gateway address space provides
communications for the MV Explorer GUI. 

We are in the process of revamping and restructuring all of our 
infrastructure technologies to make it simpler to install and 
configure and more reliable overall. Those changes will be
rolled out over the next 9-18 months. When we are done there will 
probably be fewer address spaces, but they will be more flexibly
configured. More than that I can't say without a whiteboard and 
an NDA.

Hi Dean,

There are a number of features that require that a couple of address spaces
be defined to acquire & record the data - multiple address spaces are
required.

Hi,

Can these be installed as standalone components or do you also need a
address space like TMON's HUB address space that provides services to it's
components ?

TIA
