FileCap is deployed as a stand-alone system, which means it has its own built-in operating system and update system. The FileCap Server is currently available in two deployment forms.
The first is a CD image in the form of an ISO which can be used to install on your own hardware, VMware or Hyper-V. The second option is hardware appliances, offered by FileCap, with FileCap pre-installed.
Choosing a deployment option
While choosing a deployment option you should take the following into consideration:
ISO Image (Recommended option)
- More flexibility, hard disk size is customisable
- Runs on custom hardware and FileCap Appliances
- Runs on VMWare and Hyper-V
- Installer auto installs latest security patches
- Easy backup and snapshots on virtualisation platforms
For the ISO installation steps see the chapter: Installing FileCap Server from ISO
FileCap hardware
- Data separation is optimal, confidential data is not stored on the same hardware as other data
- Hard disk is build in and cannot be changed without re-installation
VMware Virtual Appliance (This is an obsolete option, please use the ISO image)
- Fast and easy deployment in VMware
- VMware tools pre-installed
- Fixed hard disk size of 100GB
- Easy backup and snapshot function
We recommend using the ISO image deployment option in combination with VMWare or Hyper-V. Using custom hardware or FileCap hardware is also possible, but less flexible.
