Deployment Configurations (Team System Web Access)
The recommended deployment configurations for Team System Web Access are described in this section.
Deploying Team System Web Access on the Team Foundation Server Application Tier
You can install Team System Web Access on an application-tier computer that contains Team Foundation Server, Windows SharePoint Services, and SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 (single-server configuration). You can also install Team System Web Access on an application-tier computer that has Windows SharePoint Services only, with SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 on a separate data-tier computer (dual-server configuration).
The TeamSystemWebAccess.msi file installs Team System Web Access as a new Web site hosted by Internet Information Services (IIS). Use this configuration for setup simplicity and if you expect low Team System Web Access traffic volumes.
