This architecture was built to provide scalability, availability and openness. The architecture is divided into 3 tiers based on the Business Functions: • Web Server - All the communication over the web is routed through the gateways which resides on one or more servers • Applications - It consists of one or more servers which processes the requests received from the gateways • Data - The data tier is a repository to store various types of data Each tier is separated by network firewalls. IBM Cognos BI user interfaces is placed above all the tiers
