IBM Cognos BI is a platform independent. It is built on various platforms such as XML (Extensible Mark up Language), WSDL (web service definition language), and SOAP (simple object access protocol). Based on the business functions, the architecture of Cognos BI is divided into three tires. They are web server, applications, and data. The first tier is web server; it is used for all the communication through the gateways. The second one is applications; the application has one or more servers which process the requests. All these requests are received from the gateways. Now, what is data tier? It is a repository. It is used to store different types of data. These entire three tires are under the IBM Cognos BI and network firewall separates each tier.
