Roadmaps for stand-alone servers

A stand-alone server topology is useful for many environments. While the underlying topology is similar for many environments, the configuration steps to achieve a desired environment varies.

Roadmaps for WebSphere Portal Express are also available in IBM Knowledge Center. For WebSphere Portal Express roadmaps, see WebSphere Portal Express: Roadmaps for stand-alone servers.

Roadmap: Demonstration environment
This roadmap is ideal for running product, feature, and application demonstrations. After the installation, you have an Apache Derby database and a default file-based repository. You might not need to make any additional changes to your demonstration environment. If you need to demonstrate a specific database or user registry, use the Stand-alone server roadmap.
Roadmap: Portlet and theme development environment
A portlet and theme development server is ideal to develop and test portlets and themes.
Roadmap: Test or small production environment
A stand-alone server topology is ideal for a test or small production environment. In this roadmap, the web server, database, and user registry software are distributed to different physical servers.
