- Separate Web Server - scale when Custodian Portal activity begins overutilizing the Legal Hold server RAM or CPU.
- Separate Background Processing Server (not common) - scale when Legal Hold sends continuous communications and begins overutilizing the Legal Hold server RAM or CPU.
- Separate Database Server (not common) - scale when many system admins are accessing the application simultaneously and running complex queries that overutilize the Legal Hold server RAM or CPU.
