Typically, with the National Guard, one server is supporting one site or State.

17. Cross Fire Desk Scheduling Each training center is an installation within RMFSS. A site may have multiple installations. Each installation will have at least one fire desk. An installation may have multiple fire desks. A Fire Desk is assigned to an installation An installation is assigned to a site A site is managed by single server.
