Single-server deployment

Use this topic to understand planning of a single-server deployment of the product.

In this type of deployment one instance of the product can handle the entire process of collecting data, indexing it, and finally making it available for search. Single-server deployments can be useful for nonproduction, small, and medium setups. Such a deployment enables simpler management of resources compared to multiple-server deployments.
