Do you have more than one Enterprise Vault server?
If you have a single Enterprise Vault server that has acceptable performance there is no benefit from Index Server groups. If you intend to add other servers then you may benefit from Index Server groups.
If you have several Enterprise Vault servers you can group some servers with Indexing services into one or more Index Server groups.
The benefit depends on whether you have some servers that are underused and others that cannot cope with the indexing demand or the archiving demand.
For example, suppose you have three servers, one dedicated to Exchange Journal archives and two dedicated to mailbox archives. In this case it can be beneficial to put all the servers into an Index Server group. The grouping enables you to distribute journal archive index volumes between all three servers. The effect of this distribution is to increase search performance for Discovery Accelerator applications.
