Sybase Search is a fully distributed system, with a central hub server and one or more satellite servers. Each server can contain one or many containers with one or more modules deployed in each container. The exact number of servers, containers, and modules depends on the needs of the installation.
The example architecture in Figure 1-1 contains:
A central hub
Two satellite containers
A J2EE server containing the Web application
OEM application connecting to Sybase Search
