SERVICE PROVIDER

Planning the distribution of hosted organization data
The following four configurations are supported for distributing hosted organization data within the service provider environment.

When you configure a hosted environment, databases must reside on the xSP server -- that is, the server to which the hosted organizations are connecting.

Hosted organization data on one server

All of a hosted organization's data can reside on one server. As the number of hosted organizations increases, you can easily add additional servers.

Multiple organizations on one server with a shared application

Multiple hosted organizations can share an application that is served from a single server. Data for the hosted organizations resides on the server with the application.

A hosted organization's data distributed across multiple servers

A hosted organization's data can be distributed across multiple servers that all run the same set of applications on each server to provide load distribution and hot backups. You can include Domino clusters and network routers in this configuration.
