22.1.4 Deciding Where to Store Documents

You can store documents at the post office in the
subdirectory of the post office. You can later add document storage areas outside the post office if
DMS usage grows. However, the documents stored at the post office can never be moved.
A document storage area has the same internal directory structure that is used to store documents at
the post office, but it can be located anywhere in your system. Document storage areas can be
moved easily, so it is easy to expand your document storage capacity when you store documents in
document storage areas rather than at the post office.
You might want to set up a document storage area on the same server where the POA runs so as not
to increase network traffic. The POA can index and serve documents to users most efficiently if the
document storage area is located locally.
