 == Choosing a Computer for the Installation of MailStore Server ==
-Whenever possible, MailStore Server should be installed on a dedicated machine. Depending on the environment, archiving strategy and usage, MailStore Server can be installed on an already existing server, too. To understand more about these dependencies, please refer to the [[Performance and Scalability Guidelines]]. On the part of the email server to be archived, no components need to be installed though.
