Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

> ## Downloading executables for heterogeneous environments

> The distributed architecture of OpenEdge allows you to optimize your hardware and network resources by installing components across networked machines, specifically when you are installing the WebSpeed Transaction Server, the AppServer, or the Open AppServer. Although some of these products’ components must reside together on the same machine, you can, in some cases, distribute components to different machines, even if the machines have different hardware or operating systems. For example, you can install a WebSpeed Messenger or the NameServer on a UNIX platform and install a WebSpeed Broker and agents in Windows.

> If you need either the WebSpeed Messenger executable or the NameServer executable for a platform other than UNIX, you can download the executables free of charge from http://www.progress.com/esd`.`
