Planning Deployment for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

The deployment architecture you will use depends on your business needs. This chapter provides guidelines for planning a Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment on three representative computer system architectures: a single-computer server deployment based on Windows Small Business Server, a two-server deployment, and multiple-server deployments involving a minimum of six servers. These deployments are discussed in detail in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 supported configurations in this guide.

Use this section as a reference if you have no existing Windows Server infrastructure, and you are planning a new Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment.

If most or all the Windows Server infrastructure already exists, we recommend that you read this section to make sure that your current infrastructure meets the prerequisites for a successful Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment.
