Server types refer to the functionality of the server. All servers share the same software and the same System Management Interface (SMI). The type of an Avaya Aura® Messaging server depends on the role the server assumes. The server types are:
Single server. A server that combines the application and storage roles.
Dedicated storage server (also called a storage server). A server that is identical to a single server except that only the storage role has been enabled.
Dedicated application server (also called an application server). A server that is identical to a single server except that only the application role has been enabled.
A server can support up to 100 ports of active traffic.
