Install Sitecore 9.3.0 XP Scaled instance on Single Machine

Before installing the Sitecore experience platform, you need to choose the correct topology of Sitecore scaled. Here I am going to select the Package for XP scaled instance.

So, what is XP Scaled (XP1) topology in Sitecore?

XP Scaled topology is if you are planning a fully-featured Sitecore Experience Platform installation.

The Sitecore Experience Platform configuration runs the following separated server roles:

• Content Delivery
• Content Management
• Email Experience Dedicated Dispatch Server (optional)
• Sitecore Identity
• Processing
• Reporting
• xConnect Collection
• xConnect Collection Search
• xDB Reference Data
• xDB Automation Operations
• xDB Automation Reporting
• Sitecore Cortex™ Processing Engine
• Sitecore Cortex™ Reporting service

This option runs the services on one or more servers. More details about topology you can find from here .
