Master and Secondary Server

Master Server is the EPS server that can manage local clients and Secondary Servers installed in different locations.
A Secondary Server is a type of server that serves as an addition to the Master Server. The Secondary Server has the same features and capabilities as the Master Server. It can be installed at different locations. It manages local clients and it reports important statistics to the Master Server.

Benefits of Secondary Server

With the help of the Secondary Servers, you can manage a large number of endpoints. If the network is distributed in geographical different areas, the Secondary Server plays an important role. For each location, you can have a Secondary Server, which manages all the endpoints at that location. All the Secondary Servers are managed by one Master Server.
In EPS 7.6, Master and multi-level Secondary Server architecture can be used. As per your geographical locations, multiple and multi-level Secondary Servers are possible as per your requirement.
