For demonstration and light testing purposes, choose the Demo installation option, where the EUM Server and Controller are installed on the same host, and the EUM Server shares the Controller's MySQL instance. For production installation, choose the Product installation option, where the EUM Server and Controller sit on different hosts, and the EUM Server hosts its own MySQL instance.

In Demo mode, the EUM Server listens for connections on port 7001 or 7002. The secure port, 7002, uses a built-in, self-signed certificate, which is only used in demo mode.

In a production environment, the EUM Server is likely to operate behind a reverse proxy. A reverse proxy relieves the performance burden of SSL termination from the EUM Server. It also helps ease certificate management and security administration in general. Further, as the connection point for agent beacons, the Server needs to have the security layer of a proxy between itself and the external Internet.
