Dedicated computer for each tier topology
You can host each tier on a separate computer.
This topology provides each tier with dedicated computing resources. If you choose this topology, minimize network latency between all tiers. In particular, you must have a high-bandwidth connection between the services tier and the metadata repository tier.
The services tier and the metadata repository tier must be on the same subnet.
The following diagram illustrates this topology. Although the diagram shows only one client tier computer, you can include multiple client tier computers.
