How does Multiframe fit into a distributed environment?
Multiframe has built-in features making it possible to structure large hierarchical networks and through the unique \u201cFan Out Distribution System\u201d, pushing out \u201cMultiProxies\u201d, that serve as local units for profile delivery to local clients. This system eliminates problems with low bandwidth or \u201cerror prone\u201d networks and allows for high scalability. Large enterprises with multiple sites can deploy Multiframe in a distributed environment using the MultiFrame proxies. The proxies are distributed to remote network segments and the central Multiframe server will manage the proxies. Only the user profiles that are needed at each segment of the network are sent to the Multiframe proxy; so that, the proxies can locally control and update their Thin Client managed devices and in doing so reduce the communication burden on the wide area network.
