Servers and Databases

Web Servers are used to serve static content and pass on requests for dynamic content to the Application Servers
Application Servers provide the application functionality and are responsible for the user experience. The Application Servers are clustered to share the application load and provide redundancy.
Rule Engine Servers are clustered and used to execute long or CPU-intensive jobs that are not directly part of the user experience (e.g. an overnight service scheduling job) as to not impact performance and operations
Interface Servers provide connectivity with upstream and downstream systems, using a variety of technologies, including Web Services, FTP, JMS, among others
Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) provides the database backbone of the application suite. RAC provides clustering to create resilience against potential hardware failure and provides load balancing.
