hi Arjun..

de-central adapter are used to bypass the Firewalls.

also it increases the efficiency.

The basic reason for using non-central adapter engine is closeness to Business system. This may be by choice(to optimize performance ) or because of technical / networking issues ( firewalls)

It can also be used as back up for central adapter engine if in case central adapter engine fails or can be used for Load Balancing ( distributing load of adapters)

You can install of local or non central adapter engine

u can have any number of local or non central adapter engine

Decentralized AE are used for load balancing.................. if you have different physical locations for XI, then you can have a local AE for each location to balance load instead of having a central AE to take care of all the load of all the locations and this will reduce the network load if some messages do not require integration engine processing.....
