Centralized Libraries
Centralized libraries are located in a post office that is dedicated to libraries (no users). Centralized
libraries are serviced by the POA in the dedicated DMS post office, as shown in the following

In the illustration, notice that all libraries belong to the DMS post office, which has no users. All
GroupWise client users are using client/server access mode, which is required because there are no
libraries in their local post offices. Each user has access to all four libraries through TCP/IP links to
the DMS POA.
The following table lists some advantages and disadvantages of centralized libraries:
