Server with Remote Clients

A Cisco EMF deployment can have additional clients installed on separate workstations. (See Figure 2-2.) A client installation retrieves management information from the Cisco EMF server and displays it on the user interface. Using clients that run on separate hosts frees system resources on the server and improves overall performance. You can install client software from a local CD ROM drive; you do not need to mount files across a network.
