• Support multiple languages

RAIDGuard Central currently supports three languages: English,
Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. The default language will be
automatically selected according to the default locale of the computers
running RAIDGuard Central, and you may also set the language
manually. RAIDGuard Central allows adding more languages. Please
contact your RAID system supplier if you want to use other languages.

5.6.2 Deployment Overview

RAIDGuard Central consists of the following three software components:
RAIDGuard Central Server (RGC Server), RAIDGuard Central Agent (RGC
Agent), and RAIDGuard Central GUI (RGC GUI). RGC Server is the main
software component of RAIDGuard Central, responsible for RAID system
monitoring, event consolidation, and event notification. RGC Server
communicates with RGC Agents, which are installed on computers in
different networks (one RGC Agent for one network), to discover RAID
systems and receive events. RGC Server also provides information to the
RGC GUI, which may be launched either locally on the same computer
of RGC Server or remotely with web browsers (RGC Server is embedded
with a web server). When you launch the web GUI of a RAID system on
RGC GUI, the RGC Server and RGC Agent will forward the packets
between the remote web browser and the web GUI server on the RAID
system.

The illustration below shows how RGC software components can be
deployed to build a centralized RAID management and monitoring
infrastructure. A computer is chosen to execute RGC Server, and RGC
Agents are installed to different networks for communicating with the
RAID systems in each network. Note that RGC Server alone cannot
communicate with RAID systems, you need to install also an RGC Agent
to a computer (may be the same as the one of RGC Server) in the same
network of RGC Server, if there are RAID systems in that network.
