SST/OB Components and Architecture 11
2-3-3 Windows Components
The SST/OB consists of the following components installed on the front-end.
• SST/OB Database
The SSTOB Database is installed on a system which has Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or above installed on it.
It can reside on an independent system or coexist with other SST/OB front-end components.
• SST/OB Application Server
The various SST/OB services, for example: SST/OB Gather service, Event Logger service and Elink. These
services can reside on the system with the SST/OB Database or on an independent system.
