## Flexibility

There are many different XMPP server implementations. The most prevolant are:

- Used as a business communication platform in small and medium companies where the server is not under a heavy load. For such deployments security is a key feature.
- For huge community websites or internet portal servers is, on the other hand, usually under very heavy load and has to support thousands or millions of simultaneous connections. For such a deployment we need a different level of security as most of the service is open to the public.
- For very small community deployments or for small home networks the key factor is ease to deploy and maintain.

Architecture based on components provides the ability to run selected modules on separate machines so the server can be easily applied in any scenario.

For simple installation the server generates a config file which can be used straight away with very few modifications or none at all. For complex deployments though, you can tweak configurations to your needs and setup XMPP server on as many physical machines as you need.
