1.3.2 Notes on System Configurations

Minimum configuration

In an environment with only one server, all modules are installed in one server. In this

environment, the fault report function does not work if a server fails (crashes, locks up,

etc.)

Medium-scale configuration

In an environment in which several servers are installed, a Management Proxy is installed

in at least one server and only the Agent is installed in the other server units. The

Management Proxy runs 24 hours a day to monitor each Agent (including the Management

Proxy itself).

Large-scale configuration

In an environment in which some dozens of servers are installed, a Management Proxy is

installed in two servers and only the Agent is installed in the other server units. The each

Management Proxy runs 24 hours a day to monitor each Agent (including the Management

Proxy itself).

About HEW version

function of HEW V2.4 is installed in the machine with which its agent information is

registered.

When a Management Proxy function of HEW V2.4 is installed, a Manager function or an

Agent function that its Management Proxy manages of HEW V2.4 or older version are

supported.

1.3.3 Security

HEW does not have any function for security of data transferred in the network. It is

recommended that the customer take security measures appropriate for the customer’s

environment.

When it is necessary to restrict the use of HEW to specific users, HEW folder access authority

can be changed using IIS settings.

Windows NT and Windows 2000 permit Virtual Private Network (VPN) to be used as a network

communication security technology.
