S1 | Host system for Registration System. | Use a 2-3 letter convention to describe the host's main function. As the purpose of the host can easily change we use a generic name, S1 for system 1. | ||
RGH1V00WEBRGH1V0WEB0 | Runs Apache Web Server. | RG = Registration = Overarching Project Code | RGH1V00APP | 0 = The server designation in the series. |
RGH1V0APP0 | Runs Tomcat Application Server and HypSQL Database Server. | This has both an application and database. Because the database is portable and more easier to move, we make the judgment call to name the system APP after the more primary long term function of the server. The convention follows but notice the V00.00 = First virtual server for the specified function and it 0 in MGH1V0APP0. The zero visually places this server with the correspond Web Server. |
