Co-locating Traveler with other Domino applications
In general, running other Domino applications on the Traveler server isn't recommended, including mail, Sametime, SMTP, POP, and so forth. Maximum performance of the Traveler environment is best achieved on dedicated hardware whether it be virtual or physical. That said, there are some cases where you may want to investigate running Traveler along with other Domino services.
Small deployments of less than 100 users can often be set up on a single box that hosts both the mail and Traveler servers. In addition, in small deployments like this you can generally run services like Sametime, SMTP etc. For a small deployment it is still recommended to set up as an HA server with an enterprise database server handling the relational data management.
- The mail servers must have sufficient processing capacity to handle 20-30% more load. In practice we have found only 20-30% of mail users generally use a mobile device to access their mail. As such, running Traveler on the mail server only increases the load about 20-30%. If a larger percentage of your mail user base use mobile devices to access their mail, then running Traveler on the mail servers may not be the correct solution.
- Consider the type of mobile users in your environment. Not all mobile users are the same. If your mobile users tend to have large mail files and sync with unlimited mail filters, then running Traveler on the mail server may not be the correct solution for your deployment. See the topic Type of mobile user.
