EPM System Architecture

EPM System is a multi-tier application environment that mainly utilizes thin-client architecture for end-user access, requiring only a supported browser on the client machine. Network traffic between the client and middle-tier server(s) generally does not exceed more than normal Web traffic. A middle-tier application server is required. Oracle WebLogic Server is provided with a default installation.

EPM System Architecture

The data tier is comprised of two components that store data differently.
In Essbase environments, the data is stored and calculated in the database on the server file system. In Financial Management environments, the application framework, metadata, and textual data are stored in a relational repository.
