The Monitoring Server includes both the
monitoring and analysis pieces and covers the items discussed in Chapter 5 and the
first half of Chapter 6. This is where the Dashboard Designer resides, and allows for
the creation of KPIs, indicators, scorecards, reports, dashboards, and so forth. The
Planning Server is a separate installation and includes all the components for creating
and working with the planning items as discussed in Chapter 7. Because there are
two separate installation components, this chapter will first discuss deployment of the
Monitoring Server, and then describe deployment for the Planning Server.
It??™s important to understand that while there are two separate installations, there
are several files that make up the suite of tools for the Planning Server. In addition,
there is a single setup page, similar to the one for SQL Server 2005, which allows
administrators to install the Planning Server and its components, as well as the
Monitoring Server. Despite this single setup page, the installations will frequently be
done separately.

Installing the Monitoring Server
The Monitoring Server consists of the server itself, which is made up of ASP.NET
pages, web services, and related components. These will be installed on a web server
running Internet Information Services, or IIS. The Monitoring Server will also
need access to a SQL Server 2005 server, on which the monitoring database will be
installed.
