Multiple technical architectures for application deployment
Posted: 28 Jun 2012, 15:59
I would like to get an advice about the following situation:
Say I have a three tier application (TheApplication) with two deployments in production.
One of the deployment uses a "canonical three tier architecture" where the three elements are deployed on differents nodes (one node is the desktop, the second hosts the application server and the third hosts the D.B).
The other deployment (also in production) uses a "simpler" three tier architecture with only two nodes (one node is the desktop and the other node hosts both the application and the DB).
I want to describe the "application deployment technical architecture" of these two solutions.
Does it mean
1) I have to define (in the application provider) two different application deployment for production ?
or
2) I have to define one application deployment with two "deployed application instance" ?
Remark : I think I will not be able to describe the technical architecture if I use the later
