A list of the types of servers that might be required in your implementation
follows.
Minimum Server Setup
Minimum server components include the databases and the AOS. Although you
can install the components on a single server computer, separate servers are
recommended in a production environment. Single-server installations are
typically used for development or testing purposes only.
Application Object Server (AOS)
An AOS server is a computer running the AOS Windows service. The AOS
service controls communications among Microsoft Dynamics AX clients,
databases, and applications. You can install the AOS on a single computer or you
can create a server cluster for load balancing.
Database server
A Microsoft SQL Server database server hosts the databases that store Microsoft
Dynamics AX data and metadata. The Microsoft Dynamics AX database
contains transactional data. The model store is a SQL Server database where all
Microsoft Dynamics AX application elements are stored, including
customizations.
Complete Server Setup
Some Microsoft Dynamics AX functionality, requires one or more of the
following additional servers.
Report server
A report server is a server running SSRS. Reporting Services is a server-based
solution users can use to create and publish traditional, paper-based reports, and
interactive web-based reports. If a report server is not installed as a part of the
minimum installation, no reports can be run within the system.
Analysis server
An analysis server adds to the reporting functionality within Microsoft Dynamics
AX by linking to SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). An analysis server
provides enhanced support for online analytical processing (OLAP).
Web server
A web server hosts the Internet Information Services (IIS) websites required for
Microsoft Dynamics AX features such as Enterprise Portal, Help Server,
Enterprise Search, and IIS-based web services. Enterprise Portal is a Microsoft
Windows SharePoint Services site that can make Microsoft Dynamics AX data
and functionality available to trusted users, while making available only
restricted functionality, such as catalog information and questionnaires, to
anonymous users.
Other Servers in the Environment
The following servers are commonly found in infrastructures that run Microsoft
Dynamics AX.
Domain controller
A domain controller in an Active Directory network manages user logons and
access to network and shared resources.
Messaging server
A messaging server is used to send and receive email messages and instant
messages. Microsoft Dynamics AX can use email to send alerts to users.
Microsoft Dynamics AX requires the messaging server to support Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
Firewall Settings
If you use Windows Firewall to protect your computers, for Microsoft Dynamics
AX components to function, you must use the following settings. For more
information about Windows Firewall, refer to the Windows documentation.
