Server types refer to the functionality of the server. All servers share the same software. Messaging displays the System Management Interface (SMI) pages for the servers depending on the server role. 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 is enabled.
Dedicated application server (also called an application server): A server that is identical to a single server except that only the application role is enabled.
AxC/Directory server: A server used for notification capabilities, the LDAP database, user properties, name, and greeting recordings when the message store resides on a third-party, corporate storage server.
An application server can support up to 100 ports of active traffic.
Messaging offers the following types of servers. The amount of mailbox capacity that you need determines which one you choose.
Standard server
High storage capacity server
