Architecture

The on-premises deployment option uses Finance and Operations cloud components running on-premises using Microsoft Azure Server Service Fabric standalone clusters. Service Fabric is the next-generation Microsoft middleware platform for building and managing enterprise-class high-scale applications. Service Fabric standalone clusters can be deployed on any computer i.e. running Windows Server by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partners in India.

On-premises deployment defines two types of Service Fabric standalone clusters

  • Clusters for Production Environments
  • Clusters for Sandbox Environments

Connect with Microsoft Dynamics Partners in India to deploy any of the following roles or node types into both types of clusters

  • Application Object Servers (AOS) – Provides the ability to run the Finance and Operations application functionality in client, batch, and import/export scenarios.
  • Management Reporter (MR) – Provides financial reporting functionality.
  • SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) – Provides document reporting functionality.
  • Environment Orchestrator – Enables on-premises environment management from LCS.

Note: Retail Server is not supported in on-premises deployments at this time.
