Presentation Tier
The Presentation Tier uses Project Professional 2003 and Microsoft Internet Explorer as client applications that access the project server. With Project Professional, collaboration features, project plans, global resources, and global templates can be accessed from Microsoft Office Project Server 2003. When you use Internet Explorer, Microsoft Project Web Access provides configurable views. It also provides reports on complete project portfolio and resource availability.
Application Tier
The Application Tier is made up of Project Server 2003, Project Web Access, and Microsoft Windows SharePoint® Services. When Project Server is installed, the setup program integrates the Project Web Access components and Web parts into a Windows SharePoint Services Web site. Servers that are running Windows SharePoint Services provide a global access point so that users can view and collaborate on all project-related data.
Database Tier
The Database Tier is made up of Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services. SQL Server 2000 provides the repository for the Project Server database. SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services provides data warehousing services for the various pivot tables and charts that can be accessed from both Project Professional and Project Web Access.
