CA Directory is a distributed directory for online applications. The CCS uses CA Directory to host the classification cache.
CA Directory is a distributed directory that delivers high availability, reliability, scalability and performance. The CCS uses CA Directory to provide a better user experience and stronger security without incurring high hardware costs.
The performance limitations of traditional directories restrict applications to simple searches unless the power of the underlying central server has been increased. By contrast, the high performance of CA Directory enables applications to meet an organization's business and security needs without investing in expensive hardware.
CA Directory provides ultra high-speed performance for both read and write operations plus transparent distribution and replication. Unlike common LDAP servers which cannot efficiently communicate with each other, CA Directory is architected to perform and scale in a distributed environment with significantly reduced hardware costs.
Yes, if you want to use a CCS classification cache. CA Directory is available to download along with the CA DataMinder CCS software from CA Support Online.
If you do not want to use a classification cache, you do not need to install CA Directory.
A classification cache is optional. However, if you do not deploy a classification cache, CCS performance will be slower if external applications repeatedly pass the same documents to the CCS for classification.
