Faronics Core
Central control from one spot

Overview:

Faronics Core provides enterprise deployment and management capabilities for Faronics’ software solutions. Faronics Core also allows the monitoring and management of multiple workstations from a central location. Faronics Core displays the current status of managed workstations and allows commands to be applied to one or more of those workstations. Faronics Core’s basic functionality is extended by installing Product Loadins. These Loadins extend the functionality of Faronics Core with product-specific status, actions and reports.

Faronics Core has the following components:

• Faronics Core Console (UI Tier) — The user interface used to manage and monitor Core Servers and workstations. A single instance of Faronics Core Console can connect to multiple Core Servers.
• Faronics Core Server (Logic Tier) — The management of workstations, processing of tasks and communication between Faronics Core Console and workstations is done by the Faronics Core Server.
• Faronics Core Database (Data Tier) — The database stores the workstation list and information about the workstation. • Faronics Core Agent — The Faronics Core Agent, that is installed on the workstation, enables communication between the workstation and the Faronics Core Database

The following diagram represents the various layers in Faronics Core:

There are separate communication paths from Faronics Core Console to the Faronics Core Database, and from Faronics Core Database to the Faronics Core Agent.
