Based upon the incredible numbers of network connections that we have been seeing between test servers with ARS 7.5 and the 7.6 apps, where mid-tier and flashboards were ONLY installed on a separate server and were used for the AtriumCore console, data visualization modules, and KPI flashboards by specifying them in the web path, we have decided to install one mid-tier and the flashboards server locally on the AR server (24 gb RAM and 16 cores) specifically to serve those functions. There is still a dedicated mid-tier server on a separate box for general use by support staff and customers, and all publicized links and email notifications will lead them to that mid-tier. The local mid-tier will just be part of the "plumbing," to cut down on the network connections.

What are the consequences if I do? We don't heavily use the midtier so if I don't have to hassle with more equipment I'd rather not. I already have seperate application and database hardware.
