Standalone and Distributed Configurations
Note
The management server is sometimes called the database server. The presentation server is sometimes
called the client, GUI, or application server. To avoid confusion, this document uses management server
and presentation server consistently, and these terms denote the machines in a distributed configuration,
not the software that resides on them.
The Cisco MNM client simultaneously supports up to ten X terminal users or VNC users. The exact
number supported in a given installation depends on your processing resources, and the network size.
