Multiple Servers can be configured for a single network to ensure the

to support a higher volume of concurrent calls, additional Microsoft
Exchange Unified Messaging Servers can be configured in the same
network so that users can be load-balanced.

Server can be configured as a redundant server in a network by

Service (NRS) - configuring an additional Microsoft Exchange Unified
Messaging Server provides a greater measure of fault tolerance for
the services provided, allowing a continuation of those services in the
event of system failure
