= James Distributed Mail Server
:navtitle: Distributed
The Distributed server offers an easy way to scale email server. Based on
noSQL solutions, it is intended to be easy to operate for large
deployments, without needing sharding and protocol aware load balancing.
The Distributed Server does assume that you have advanced
technical knowledge and is the most complex and feature-rich option.
This server is:
* Intended for use by experts only
* Used for large-scale distributed deployments
* Is designed for Mail Delivery use cases but can also carry out mail processing
* The most feature-rich server, but also by far the most complex
