components that are no longer recommended for new systems, but that are retained in
existing systems.
Three tier system diagram
Systems that are upgrading from Aurora Browse version 1.5 to version 2.0 or higher
can use the three tier network architecture. Aurora Browse version 1.5 required the
three tier network, while Aurora Browse version 2.0 and higher supports either a two
tier or a three tier network.
The system illustrated here includes all hardware platform types. Smaller systems
might not include all types of hardware platforms. Consult the system design for your
specific system to determine the hardware platforms you must install.
