Architecture Overview
– Cognos 8BI architecture can be separated into three tiers:
Web server
Applications
Data
– The tiers are based on business function, and are typically separated by firewalls
– User interfaces sit above the tiers
– Zero-footprint user interface that uses the default browser configurations provided by Netscape and Microsoft
