Description
|
|
Acquire
|
Acquire(s) installed on operating systems capture performance/capacity data
collected and processed by Control Center.
Acquires only communicate with a Control Center.
|
|
Core Software
|
The core software includes multiple features:
- Control Center : Data processing Service that accesses one Capacity
Database at a time.
- Scheduler: Task scheduling service that runs Data Management tasks
(aggregation and deletion) and Automatic Reporting schedules created with the
Desktop Applications. Scheduler communicates with the Control Center service via
Capacity Database and Scheduler can access multiple Capacity Databases
concurrently. Desktop Applications do not communicate with the Control Center
directly.
- Desktop Apps: Applications installed on a machine for managing the
Control Center and running local reports. The License Server issues requests and
handles licenses for the running of Control Centers and some of the desktop
applications.

Concentrator

A Concentrator is a Windows Service which is a special type of Control Center that
acts as a collection and secure forwarding node for data being processed into a
Capacity database. Its purpose is to provide improved security by limiting the
connectivity between networks to a single pipe and also underpins the Syncsort™ Capacity Management Cloud
solution.
