4.4 Examining the system configuration

Basic configuration

The basic configuration consists of the management server and managed devices. The following shows the number of devices this configuration can manage:

• When collecting operation logs: 3,000 devices

• When not collecting operation logs but using the distribution function: 5,000 devices

• When not collecting operation logs and not using the distribution function: 10,000 devices

Offline management configuration

This configuration contains managed computers that cannot be connected to the network of the management server. This configuration allows you to manage device information for standalone computers and computers that are connected only to the network in a site.

Agentless configuration

This configuration contains agentless computers to be managed.

Site server configuration

This configuration provides load balancing for the management server or network by using site servers as the storage locations for operation logs or as the relay sites for the distribution function. Use this configuration in the following cases:

• When acquiring operation logs and managing more than 3,000 devices

• When using the distribution function and managing more than 5,000 devices, but not acquiring operation logs

Multi-server configuration

This configuration uses database servers to provide load balancing for the management server. Use this configuration to manage more than 10,000 devices.

Support service linkage configuration

This configuration provides a linkage with support service sites. You can download support information files from support service sites to the management server, and apply the latest information about Windows updates. You can also apply the latest Windows updates to the managed computers.

Active Directory linkage configuration

This system configuration is used to collect device information managed by Active Directory. The information collected from Active Directory can be registered on the management server.

MDM linkage configuration

This configuration provides a linkage with an MDM system so that JP1/IT Desktop Management can perform integrated management of devices, including the smart devices managed by the MDM system.

Network monitoring configuration

This configuration provides network monitoring to control network connections of devices. Network connection control of devices is possible if the network monitor agent is installed for the managed computers.

JP1/NETM/NM - Manager linkage configuration

By linking with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager, JP1/IT Desktop Management can control network connections monitored on network control appliance products with JP1/NETM/NM installed.

Remote control configuration

This configuration provides remote control of computers by using the remote control function. File transfer and chatting between computers are also possible.

JP1/IM linkage configuration

This configuration provides a linkage with JP1/IM to allow JP1/IM to perform integrated management of error events generated by JP1/IT Desktop Management. Integrated management of information for other linked JP1 products is also possible, allowing you to timely check the information.

Cluster configuration

This system configuration contains a cluster of management servers. If an error occurs on the primary management server, the primary management server is switched to the standby management server on which processing can continue.
