to store data included in logs, Communicator schedule, managed product
and child server information, user account, network environment,
and notification settings.
-
A web
server that hosts the Control Manager web console

Trend Micro Management Communication
Protocol
|
MCP handles the Control Manager server
interaction with managed products that support the next generation
agent.
MCP is the new backbone for the Control Manager system.
MCP
agents install with managed products and use one/two way communication
to communicate with Control Manager.
MCP agents poll Control Manager for instructions
and updates.

Trend Micro Management Infrastructure
|
Handles the Control Manager server
interaction with older managed products.
The Communicator,
or the Message Routing Framework, is the communication backbone
of the older Control Manager system.
It is a component of the Trend Micro Management Infrastructure
(TMI). Communicators handle all communication between the Control Manager server and older
managed products. They interact with Control Manager 2.x
agents to communicate with older managed products.

Control Manager 2.x Agents
|
Receives commands from the Control Manager server and sends
status information and logs to the Control Manager server
The Control Manager agent is an application
installed on a managed product server that allows Control Manager to manage the
product. Agents interact with the managed product and Communicator.
An agent serves as the bridge between managed product and communicator.
Therefore, install agents on the same computer as managed products.
