Advantages and Disadvantages of a Dedicated Indexer Server on an Isolated Network Segment
Table 23-6
Advantages
Dedicated server for quicker DMS indexing.
This is useful for organizations that are
document-intensive.
The messaging post office is not hampered
by DMS indexing.
The large amount of information that is
passed between the post office server and
the indexing server does not congest the
bandwidth of the production network
segment.
Dedicated DMS Post Office
You can have one post office that is dedicated to messaging and another to DMS. This configuration
is useful for post offices that have heavy DMS usage. For a review of this configuration, see

Multiple server hardware is required.
A dedicated network segment is required
(including second network interface card that is
directly linked to the indexer server).
For multiple indexing servers, a dedicated hub
might be needed.
