SDL Tridion is based on a decoupled architecture: the Content Management environment and the Content Delivery environment are architecturally and usually physically separated from each other. This has the advantage that all CMS assets can be kept on premise behind company firewalls, thus significantly enhancing the security of sensitive information. Furthermore, the decoupled architecture allows for independent scaling and maintenance of each part, thus reducing hardware cost and maintenance efforts.
This technical brief gives an overview of the main components of the SDL Tridion solution and its extension points.
