There are two key deployment options for this project:
- Using BIRT: The BIRT Engine is deployed in a separate Application Server instance.
- Using Actuate: When using Actuate, it is deployed as a separate instance (the product is called iServer). Multiple instances of each of these can be used, without changing the architecture, to meet customer requirements for scalability and/or reliability as needed.
This view is open to further evolution to support Advanced Analytics, for example using the Cognos BIA Engine; This may be integrated into BIA as part of future Service Packs.
