Oracle Collaboration Suite is composed of three layers, or tiers. Three-tier architecture has several unique advantages over a single computer installation, such as the ability to scale where the processing power is required, and to keep data-intensive jobs and processor-intensive jobs on separate machines that can be tuned appropriately.
The three tiers of Oracle Collaboration Suite place very different demands on processors and storage devices and the deployment architecture of Oracle Collaboration Suite should reflect these demands. Oracle Collaboration Suite offers several deployment scenarios that enable you to emphasize security, availability, scalability and ease of management. These deployment options and recommendations are covered in more detail in Oracle Collaboration Suite Deployment.
Oracle Collaboration Suite architecture contains the following layers:
The Oracle Collaboration Suite middle tier consists of the following Oracle components: Oracle Calendar, Oracle Email, Oracle Files, Oracle Ultra Search, Oracle Voicemail & Fax, Oracle Web Conferencing and Oracle 9iAS Wireless.
The infrastructure tier is built on Oracle9i Application Server. It consists of a common set of services, such as security, directory, metadata, management, and portal services. These services are used by Oracle Collaboration Suite applications.
