Advantages and Disadvantages of a Single Server with Multiple POAs
Table 23-5
Advantages
None.
There are no advantages to running multiple POAs on the same server. If you need more than one
POA, run it on a separate server, as described in
Dedicated Indexer Server
You can have the post office on one server and a POA dedicated to indexing DMS documents on
another server. This configuration is useful for systems of any size with heavy DMS usage.
