This section introduces Faronics Core and explains its components.
About Faronics Core
Faronics Core provides enterprise deployment and management capabilities for Faronics’
software solutions. Faronics Core also allows the monitoring and management of multiple
workstations from a central location. Faronics Core displays the current status of managed
workstations and allows commands to be applied to one or more of those workstations. Faronics
Core’s basic functionality is extended by installing Product Loadins. These Loadins extend the
functionality of Faronics Core with product-specific status, actions and reports.
Faronics Core has the following components:
•
Core Console (UI Tier) — The user interface used to manage and monitor Core Servers and
workstations. A single instance of Core Console can connect to multiple Core Servers.
•
Core Server (Logic Tier) — The management of workstations, processing of tasks and
communication between Core Console and workstations is done by the Core Server.
•
Core Database (Data Tier) — The database stores the workstation list and information about
the workstation.
•
Core Agent — The Core Agent, that is installed on the workstation, enables communication
between the workstation and the Core Server
