Deployment Strategy for Service Manager 2010 SP1

Applies To: System Center Service Manager 2010 SP1

As a best practice, deploy your management servers and associated databases on separate computers. Isolating the management servers and databases provides for a successful recovery operation. You must have a functioning database to restore a failed management server. Recovery of a management server is impossible if the management server and the associated database are on the same physical computer and that computer fails. For more information, see the topic "Installing Service Manager on Four Computers" in the System Center Service Manager 2010 SP1 Deployment Guide (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=198071).
