Where to install IBM® Interact components

The Interact design environment must be installed with Campaign. For best performance, IBM® recommends that you install a runtime server on its own machine, where no other IBM® EMM products are installed.

You must fully install and deploy a Marketing Platform for each server group. If you install multiple Interact server groups, you must fully install and deploy the Marketing Platform in each runtime server group.

The following table describes the components you can select when you install Interact.

Component	Description
Interact Runtime Environment	The Interact runtime server. You integrate Interact runtime servers with a touchpoint, such as a web site, to present offers based on real-time data. You can install multiple runtime servers in your environment and organize them into server groups. Each server group must have one instance of the Marketing Platform separate from the Marketing Platform for Campaign and separate from other server groups.
Interact Design Environment	The design environment for Interact. You must install the design environment on the same machine as Campaign. You must install only one design environment.
