Functions of Domino servers
Before you install and set up the first IBM® Domino® server, consider the function and physical location of the servers that your company needs and determine how to connect the servers to each other.

Consider your company's need for the following:

Servers that provide IBM Notes® or browser users with access to applications
Hub servers that handle communication between servers that are geographically distant
Web servers that provide browser users with access to Web applications
Servers that manage messaging services
Directory servers that provide users and servers with information about how to communicate with other users and servers
Pass-through servers that provide users and servers with access to a single server that provides access to other servers
Domain Search servers that provide users with the ability to perform searches across all servers in a Domino domain
Clustered servers that provide users with constant access to data and provide load-balancing and failover
Partitioned servers that run multiple instances of the Domino server on a single computer
Firewall servers that provide Notes users with access to internal Domino services and protect internal servers from outside users
xSP servers that provide users with Internet access to a specific set of Domino applications

Select one of the following installation options:

Domino Utility Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides application services only, with support for Domino clusters. The Domino Utility Server is an installation type for Lotus Domino that removes client access license requirements. Note that it does NOT include support for messaging services. See full licensing text for details.
Domino Messaging Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides messaging services. Note that it does not include support for application services or Domino clusters.
Domino Enterprise Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides both messaging and application services, with support for Domino clusters.
Note: Only the Domino Enterprise Server supports a service provider (xSP) environment.
