Role-based deployment Role-based Deployment allows for scalability of GFI MailArchiver in large IT infrastructures dealing with heavy email traffic. This is achieved through the deployment of multiple GFI MailArchiver instances on separate servers. Each instance is configured to fulfill diverse roles, to balance workload and collectively help for the smooth running of the email archiving process. The following roles can currently be assigned to GFI MailArchiver instances: • Central Configuration Service • Data Collection • Storage • Search and Indexing • User Interface and Administration • Data Import Service For information on how to use this feature, refer to the ‘Role-based Deployment’ chapter in this manual.
