Another recommended scenario is to deploy servers with the following
GFI MailArchiver roles:
 Server 1:
o Central Configuration Service
o Storage
 Server 2:
o Search and Indexing
 Server 3:
o Data Collection
o User Mailbox synchronization
NOTE 1: To achieve maximum performance, assign the Data
Collection role to a GFI MailArchiver instance residing directly on
the Microsoft Exchange server with the journaling mailbox.
NOTE 2: You can have multiple servers assigned with the Data
Collection role.
 Server 4:
o User Interface and Administration
NOTE: You can have multiple servers assigned with the User
Interface and Administration role, enabling you to set up a web
farm.
 Server 5 (Temporary server):
o Data Import Service
NOTE: This temporary server can be used when past emails
(before GFI MailArchiver was installed) from PST files will be
imported into the archive stores. Importing past emails is normally
a one-time process, thus the temporary nature of this server.
