<introEmbed body={<> You should use virtualized standalone servers because: - If one server goes down it does not affect other servers (e.g. a centralized SQL server fails and brings down: CRM, TFS, Reports, Web Server) - You can just copy the VPC to another computer and it just works, no need to worry about reconfiguring the SQL connection string or web services - You can just backup the VPC However, you should scale out your servers if: - You want the best performance (e.g. A different server for SQL backend and Web frontend) </>} />
