Deploying Crystal Reports (2008)

Hello,

I'm starting with Crystal Reports 2008 and I'm a bit stuck with what I should do with reports after they're done...
I used to work with SS Reporting Services and there we'd have a web-server, we'd deploy reports to there.
What happens for Crystal Reports? I need users on the intranet be able to see them. How do we setup a web (or some other hosting) server for Crystal and how do I deploy them there?

Thanks

Thank you,

A bit more details please. The article lists common servers for CR with short desriptions.
I'm interested in the official version for now - Crystal Report Server.
How do you deploy exactly? There is no option/function in the CR 2008 designer (or whatever it's called).

do you have Crystal Server installed somewhere on your network?

if so, are you able to log into the management interface, CMC (central management console)?

No, we don't have anything yet installed. So, the deployment is done on the server side, not from the designer (for RS it can be done from either and more common to do it from VS).
