Load Manager
Taking server farm load balancing to a new level, this component lets
administrators customize rules to optimize server resources in any environment.
Application scheduling permits administrators to schedule application availability
to accommodate routine application and database maintenance. (Only available in
MetaFrame Presentation Server Advanced and Enterprise Editions.)
Resource Manager
With this component, administrators can centrally monitor and manage the server
farm to ensure continuous, smooth operation. Capabilities include real-time
monitoring and alerting, application monitoring and usage, and user-configurable
setting of metrics and alert thresholds. (Only available in MetaFrame Presentation
Server Enterprise Edition.)
Installation Manager
This capability eases the administrative burden of installing and uninstalling
applications on servers in large server farms. With the click of a mouse,
administrators can replicate applications across the entire farm, saving time and
effort. (Only available in MetaFrame Presentation Server Enterprise Edition.)
Network Manager
Enterprises that use network management software from leading providers, such as
HP and Tivoli, can incorporate MetaFrame Presentation Server farms into these
solutions and administer them through the native network management console or
through a customized version of the management console. (Only available in
MetaFrame Presentation Server Enterprise Edition.)
