# Single store deployments

A single store deployment can be as simple as one computer running Microsoft SQL Server, Store Manager, and POS. However, the most common single store deployment is slightly more complex, with back office computers running Microsoft SQL Server and Store Manager, and separate computers on the floor running POS.

You can also have multiple single store deployments, where you install Store Manager and POS in each store, and the apps in each store operate independently of each other. In other words, each store has its own Store Manager database, and data is not shared between the databases.

You can install Microsoft SQL Server, Store Manager,and POS on the same computer. However, as you add more POS lanes to your store, it is recommended that you install and run your Microsoft SQL Server on a standalone computer with sufficient memory and processing power to accommodate a larger store database and more transactions.
