This appendix documents system architectures, hardware platforms, and software
components that are no longer recommended for new NewsBrowse systems, but that
are retained in existing NewsBrowse systems.
Three tier system diagram
Systems that are upgrading from NewsBrowse version 1.5 to version 2.0 or higher can
use the three tier network architecture. NewsBrowse version 1.5 required the three tier
network, while NewsBrowse 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.
