What is a Professional SCpbMD deployment?

The Professional deployment is the most basic Sitecore Commerce deployment that provides you with load balancing and redundancy on the Content Delivery servers.

This topology may have issues if there is high xDB activity, because the processing service may start to consume too much CPU as it reduces gathered data. If the load on the content delivery servers becomes an issue, you can scale horizontally with additional servers. The reporting role is housed on the CM server, and each CD server has the processing service activated.

With this deployment, the routing service should be hosted on the Business Management Server in the internal network. The Business Management Server is a low-activity server, and is an ideal for add low-activity roles. There is an instance of the Transaction service housed on each CD server, with each Sitecore site talking to its own local instance.

ScpbMD can currently only be licensed in a Professional+ or Enterprise Edition topology. If you require a different topology, contact your local Sitecore office.
