Deployment Patterns

Table 4.1 lists the patterns included in the deployment cluster, along with the problem statements for each, which should serve as a roadmap to the patterns.

Table 4.1: Deployment Patterns

Pattern	Problem
Layered Application	How do you structure an application to support such operational requirements as maintainability, reusability, scalability, robustness, and security?
Three-Layered Services Application	How do you layer a service-oriented application and then determine the components in each layer?
Tiered Distribution	How should you structure your servers and distribute functionality across them to efficiently meet the operational requirements of the solution?
Three-Tiered Distribution	How many tiers should you have, and what should be in each tier?
Deployment Plan	How do you determine which tier you should deploy each of your components to?
