Team Foundation Server and SQL Server Reporting Services

This past summer I asked for feedback on how you deploy SQL Server Reporting Services in your organization (How Do You Deploy SQL Server Reporting Services?). At the time, we were seeking input to determine if we should keep SQL Server Reporting Services on the data tier, or if we should move it to the application tier.

Based on the feedback collected, it was obvious that moving Reporting Services to the application tier would be best. The primary motivation for making this move is to eliminate IIS from the data tier; however, this move will also make it possible to cluster the data tier using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, which doesn't support clustering of Reporting Services.
