Two-Tier Physical Deployment Topology

A two-tier Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2 deployment topology consists of a presentation tier and a data tier. Servers in the presentation tier host the commerce application code, commerce presentation software components (e.g. Web parts for a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 commerce application), the Commerce Foundation, and the commerce runtime.

The data tier is composed of Commerce Server 2009 R2 databases that are hosted either on a single SQL Server instance or on clustered instances of SQL Server.

Following is an example of a physical topology for a two-tier commerce deployment.
