Whether you’re new to ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) or a seasoned pro, you may not know all the ins and outs of this security management software. Here are ten things you need to know — directly from our ePO Support engineers.
1. The Components that Make up ePO
ePO is composed of three server-side services and a Microsoft SQL database, each of which serves a different purpose:
• The Application Server Service, or Tomcat, is responsible for displaying the ePO console GUI and running extensions as well as other background functions
• The Event Parser Service takes events uploaded from clients in your environment and parses them into the SQL database
• The Server Service, or Apache, processes and receives all Agent-Server communication in the environment
It is important to note that all three services require and depend on a constant, high-speed connection to the SQL database.
