Deploy on Two Computers

Deploying Parallel Processing Server on two computers assumes you want to run Map Publisher Desktop on one or more machines and the Parallel Processing Server on a single machine. This is a good strategy if you don't have a lot of hardware resources but don't want the Parallel Processing tasks to compete for CPU and Disk IO on your client workstation(s) while processing tasks. Multiple Map Publisher Desktop computers can also share one Parallel Processing Server computer.
