Deploying TM1 Applications components on separate computers

Deploying some or all of the IBM® TM1® Applications components on separate, dedicated computers can improve performance, availability, and capacity.

Depending on your network environment and business requirements, you can distribute the TM1 Web Tier and TM1 Data Tier across multiple computers in a number of different ways.

Deploy TM1 Web Tier and TM1 Data Tier on separate computers.

This configuration combines the Java™ web application server for TM1 Applications and IBM TM1 Web on the same computer but locates the TM1 Data Tier (IBM TM1 Server) on a separate computer.
