In an Enterprise Edition: Expanded Configuration, one or more Front-End servers host the IM Conferencing. There are separate, dedicated servers that host other Lync/Skype for Business services such as the Office Web Apps Server and the Persistent Chat Server. The Back-End database is hosted on its own endpoint. If you are using the Enterprise Edition: Expanded Configuration, install IM Security on each of the Front-End servers that are hosting IM Conferencing.
Global Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
If your environment has more than 125,000 users distributed globally, deploy multiple IM Security protected Front-End servers to multiple locations. Install additional services on separate, dedicated computers.
Note
Note
In these scenarios, you should only install IM Security on the Enterprise Edition (Front-End) servers.
