Hi list

Geoserver can separate the data from the application, setting for the data (vector and raster) residing on a physical server(storage), and application (geoserver) in another physical server?

server1(data) <----> server2(geoserver) <----> client gis

Thanks in advanced

Yes, GeoServer forms the middle tier of a three-tier web application:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture#Three-tier_architecture

The three tiers:

(1) One or more spatial databases that contain vector or raster data

(2) GeoServer connects to the database(s) using JDBC and delivers OGC web services

(3) The presentation layer is a web browser (e.g. OpenLayers) or GIS rich client (e.g. QGIS) that consumes OGC web services

Other architectures including service cascading are also supported. Please see the user guide:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/

Kind regards,
Ben.
