The modular design of Digi-CA™allows its seamless deployment in almost every scenario:
     
  a where it is required to centralise all Module Services on a single dedicated server to reduce costs and where large certificate volumes are not a demand;
     
  b in a most complex environment, for very high volume certificate processing and where all Module Services are distributed separately to a number of server devices, most often in combination with network hardware load balancing, database data replication as well as hardware and software fail-over that combine to form the so called ‘High Availability’ model.
     

This unique feature of Digi-CA™software provides not only a flexible range of possible configuration variations but allows organisations to slowly build their own PKI infrastructure from a very small environment and carefully control their expenditure related to purchasing and maintenance of hardware devices.
