Introduction
The primary purpose of this document is to help you decide how you want to deploy an ICE Server and its components based on three primary factors:
1. The number of users you need (online simultaneously).
2. The hardware you will use (cores, RAM, and drive space).
3. How redundant you want your system (single vs. multi-node deployments)
The ICE Server runs on the Instant Connect Enterprise (ICE) Operating System (ICE OS).
ICE OS is a proprietary Linux-based operating system which allows for a streamlined installation of ICE Server as single node Kubernetes cluster, including support for air-gapping and georedundancy.
