1.1.3 Data Synchronizer Configurations
When you install the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack, the Synchronizer services, the GroupWise
Connector, and the Mobility Connector are all installed on the same server. The Synchronizer server
can have one instance of each connector. Multiple instances of the same connector cannot be created
on a single Synchronizer server.
A single-server Synchronizer system can meet the synchronization needs of approximately 200 to
300 users, depending on the amount of synchronization traffic generated by those users. You might
need to set up a Synchronizer system that includes multiple Synchronizer servers for the following
reasons:
Š
Number of Users: You need to support synchronization for more than 200 to 300 users.
Š Location of Users: You need to support users that are located in distant geographical locations
where synchronization performance could be adversely affected by the network connections
between users and the applications that they want to synchronize data with.
Š Location of Synchronized Applications: Applications for which data is being synchronized
have meaningful organizational segments (for example, GroupWise domains and post offices).
Having a Synchronizer server associated with each organizational segment would help balance
the synchronization load across all users of the application.
Š
Quality of Service: Certain segments of your user population, such as executives of your
organization, might expect and require a higher level of synchronization performance than
typical users. This higher quality of service can be accomplished by setting up a small
Synchronizer system specifically for such high profile users.
Connector-specific considerations for implementing a multi-server Synchronizer system are covered
in each connector’s
Installation and Configuration Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/

1.2 Data Synchronizer System Requirements
You, as a Synchronizer administrator, must ensure that the Synchronizer server meets Synchronizer
system requirements, so that your Synchronizer system can function successfully.
