Scaling the DSS server

Correctly scaling/sizing a DSS server is a complex task which should include industry standard tools and methods. This section provides information specific to DSS to assist in the scaling process, but is not a complete reference.

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 e-mail directly via the SMTP gateway, rather than via DSS.

Configure devices to use direct LDAP address book.
