Control Manager™ is a software management solution that provides the capability
to control antivirus and content security programs from a central location-regardless
of the
program’s physical location or platform. This application can simplify the administration
of a
corporate virus/malware and content security policy.
-
Control Manager server: The Control Manager
server is the machine upon which the Control Manager application
is installed. The web-based Control Manager management console is
generated on this server.
-
Agent: The agent is an application installed
on a product-server that allows Control Manager to manage the product.
It receives commands from the Control Manager server, and then applies
them to the managed product. It also collects logs from the product,
and sends them to Control Manager. The Control Manager agent does
not communicate with the Control Manager server directly. Instead,
it interfaces with a component called the Communicator.
-
Communicator:
The Communicator is the communications backbone of the Control Manager
system; it is part of the
Trend Micro Management Infrastructure.
Commands from the Control Manager server to the managed products,
and status reports from the products to the Control Manager server
all pass through this component. Only one Communicator is installed
on each product server; the Communicator then handles the needs
of all the agents on the aforementioned server.
-
Entity: An entity is a representation of a managed
product on the Product Directory link. You see these icons in the
directory tree of the Entity section. The directory tree is a composition
of all managed entities, residing on the Control Manager console.
