Topology Physical Host B All SharePoint Databases Physical Host A Web Server Web Server App Server App Server Other SQL Databases Physical Host D All SharePoint Databases Physical Host C All SharePoint Databases Crawl DB Application Server – Distribution Service Application Server – All Application Server Roles Application Server – Distribution Cache Service SQL Server installed and configured to support SQL clustering, mirroring, or AlwaysOn across both of the hosts. Load Balancer Physical Host A Web Server Physical Host B Web Server Up to four VMs can be combined onto one physical host if the host has sufficient CPU cores and RAM. Dedicated application servers for the distributed cache service are recommended in environments that use social features, such as social feeds and microblogging. Combining all application server roles onto one VM requires Windows Server 2012 which allows a greater amount of resources to be allocated to individual VMs. Index Partition 0Replica 1a Replica 1b Application Server – All Application Server Roles Crawl DB Crawl DB Web Server Web Server Current Topology Recommended Topology
