Limitations
There is no hard limit to how many devices can be added to the server, but HP will support up to
1000 devices per server with DSS 4.91. Note that this limit may change in the future, so make sure to read the release notes when updates are available and look for information on the HP Website at: www.hp.com/go/dss.
Features and factors that limit scalability
Most features offered by DSS are fairly lightweight in terms of server processing, with the exception of the following.
●Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
●High compression PDF
●LAN fax with notification support
Other factors that limit scalability include the following.
●Utilization/scan job volume
●Routing jobs through DSS
●Very large DSS address books
●Complex workflow design
Recommendations
Given the factors stated above, DSS administrators should consider the following approaches to improving the scalability of DSS:
●Limit OCR to specific workflows.
●Configure devices to send
●Configure devices to use direct LDAP address book.
●Use the notification features of the LAN Fax server.
●For OCR intensive environments, use high performance servers and use multiple servers to divide the load.
It is recommended to perform a pilot test of a given DSS configuration prior to wide scale
Licensing
In order to use the features of this version of the DSS, you must purchase and install at least one device license. These licenses come in bundles of 1, 5, 10, 50 and 250 device licenses (device licenses are sometimes also referred to as "license seats").
Each seat allows you to enable DSS features on one
