Once you have been up and running with the Centralized Deployment you may start to think about scaling out your deployment to handle more data and a greater search volume. This deployment runs a Manager, multiple Index Stores and multiple Forwarders.
Forwarders and Multiple Index Stores This deployment can have multiple Index Stores and multiple Forwarders. Forwarders ship data to any of the available Index Stores. The data is automatically balanced between the available Index Stores. If an Index Store goes offline the data is balanced across the remaining Index Stores. If all the Index Stores are taken offline the Forwarders will ship their data to the Manager which runs a Central Index Store.
