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.)
