  • Microsoft Solution Offering - Microsoft Solution for Internet Business

This article was previously published under Q329331

SUMMARY

This article discusses the software requirements (and the optional software configurations) that you must have to successfully implement the Microsoft Solution for Internet Business Version 2. There are three different configurations, as follows:
  • Dev (For your developement environment, which would have the software installed on a single computer)
  • BRAC (The base deployment uses a computer running ISA Server as a firewall to separate and protect the Web servers from the Internet. Each Web server has two network adapters: one for client communication, and one for cluster management and database communication.)
  • ERAC (The enterprise deployment is basically an expansion of the base deployment, but has increased security, manageability, availability, and scalability. You can include additional servers to reduce the single points of failure in your system and to improve performance. The enterprise deployment includes an additional firewall between the Web and data tiers, and separate domain controllers for each tier.)
NOTE: Not all components are installed on all the computers of the BRAC and ERAC implementations, the respective role of the server is listed in italic text. Install the products in the order in which they are listed. For detailed instructions about which products to install on which computers, see the deployment documentation that is included with the solution.
