Decoupled architecture

SDL Tridion Sites separates content management from content delivery.

This separation of concerns yields the following advantages:
Control

Organizations get the freedom to choose the platform for delivery, such as Java, .NET, or another REST-based framework.

Upgrade independence

SDL Tridion Sites simplifies the upgrade procedure by allowing you to perform a staged upgrade.

Security

The decoupling of content management and content delivery means that external site visitors can never gain access to the content management side of the solution.

Scalability

By allowing the content delivery side to scale independently of the content management side, SDL Tridion Sites helps optimize resource usage and efficient scaling.

Failover

The separation of the two systems helps provide a distributed failover and disaster recovery architecture, in which your production websites can stay up and running at all times.
