Benefits of a Single-tiered Architecture

The benefits of the single-tiered architecture come down to cost savings, as you do not have to purchase nor maintain additional hardware.

Answer the following questions to help decide if the single-tiered architecture is best for your enterprise:

• Is the threat of denial of service minimal?

• Is there no requirement for SSL?

• Do you have significant maintenance windows available?

Answering yes to these questions suggests that your enterprise could use a single-tiered architecture.
