Managing Sites

Vector AM collects information into one or more Sites, which can be managed by multiple Consoles and Schedulers. Sites enable you to manage a large installation by dividing the PCs you want to manage between Site databases.

Using Multiple Sites Sites can be used to organize PCs by location, by business unit, or any other method that enables you to efficiently manage your organization's assets. A Site can represent all the PCs in a building, all the PCs in a department, or all the PCs in a network domain. Each Console or Scheduler can access multiple Sites simultaneously. You can have as many Sites as you want as long as the total number of Client PCs does not exceed your Vector AM license.

Global Site The Global Site stores the Package Distribution Definitions, which are used to distribute and install software packages on Clients. When you add or edit the Package Definitions using the Edit Distribution Definitions operation, these modifications are stored in the Global Site database. If you have only one Site, it is automatically defined as the Global Site; if you have multiple Sites you can choose the Global Site.
