Services Layer
Between the web application nodes and the database nodes are a number of services that are critical to Jive.
Understanding Jive Search
Jive Search is made up of People search and Content/Places search. As of Jive 6.0, Content/Places search is available as a Cloud service, but if you are deploying Jive as an on-premise installation, you have the option to connect your instance to the Jive Cloud Search service or to install your own copy of the On-Premise search alternative.
