We are currently using SMS 2003. The artichitecture is Central server (SMS + SQL in 1 server) -&gt; Primary Server (SMS + SQL in 1 server)-&gt; many Secondary Sites for Proxy MP and DP -&gt; SMS Client<br />
<br />
We are consider the resilient of Primary Server, what is the advantage and disadvantage of seperating the SQL to another server? Will it degrade the performance? If so, Why? If seperation is better, can I implement SQL 2005 STD with failover Cluster for SMS 2003

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
