How to Scale Out a SharePoint 2010 Farm From Two-Tier to Three-Tier by Adding a Dedicated Application Server
Published 02/07 courtesy of SharePoint SolutionsThree-Tier SharePoint Farm Microsoft provides some good documentation on different SharePoint 2010 Farm deployment scenarios in the TechNet Library. One of those is about how to deploy a three-tier SharePoint 2010 Farm, which is the second most common topology for a SharePoint farm.
But, I couldnt find anything on TechNet that walked through how to scale out to a three-tier SharePoint 2010 Farm from an existing two-tier SharePoint 2010 Farm (the most common SharePoint Farm topology).
A lot of SharePoint Server Farm Administrators eventually get to the point where they need to scale out and the most commonly desired way to do it is to add a dedicated Application Server and move the SharePoint 2010 Service Applications to it (shown in the diagram to the right).
I have written a detailed blog post with screenshots on our SharePoint Help site that walks through how to add a dedicated application server to an existing SharePoint 2010 two-tier farm:
