I don't think they are talking about using two servers on the same
database. My guess is it is talking about a two (or more) database setup:
One is the OLTP database and the other its the OLAP / data warehouse
database. The OLTP is used for the actual 'business' side of things, the
OLAP for generating reports. The OLAP database is reloaded (or
synchronized) regularly from the OLTP database, but might be slightly out
of date.
