For 2-tier achitecture we have a term and definition in Computer Technology.

Refers to applications that have a code base (1-tier) separate from the database management system (1-tier), such as using Delphi to interact with Microsoft SQL Server (1+1 = 2 tier), for example. The application code resides on the "fat client" which is used to process data. The problem with 2-tier applications is that they become complex and hard to support as the user base increases in size.
