Server Environments

Each server environment is composed of an application server and database server.

Development

Development supports the following activities:

• Testing new code (development releases of either the harvester of the VIVO web application)
• Testing patches and upgrades
• Branding

Staging

This is an integration point between development and staging. Staging has a mirror of the production data with code from the development server. Staging is the place to finalize testing before new code lands on production.

Production

Running the current stable release of VIVO. No new code can hit production without having gone through both development and staging.

Sparql Server

UF has a sparql endpoint at sparql.vivo.ufl.edu. This sparql endpoint is open to the world and anyone may send queries to the server.

Since this server is open to the world, data is replicated from production to the sparql server database via MySQL master/slave replication.

Tools Server

The tools server is to help manage all of the other servers. This server is used to host the following activities:

• Performance Monitoring
• Puppet
• Redmine
