text: **2.2 Architecture and platform**
  
  Before you begin your installation and configuration, it is important to understand the general 
  architecture of the Content Manager OnDemand server to help you determine the type of 
  configuration that meets your business requirements. As illustrated in Figure 2-1, from an 
  architectural perspective, the base Content Manager OnDemand server consists of two 
  components: a library server and one or more object servers. The library server contains the 
  database system tables and the application group data tables. The object server contains the 
  stored reports and documents.
