In Client Automation, a scalability server provides the interface between agents and their domain manager.
At its most basic level, the scalability server allows the workload of managing individual agents to be distributed across several hosts. Rather than having all agents communicating directly with a single manager the load can be shared across multiple scalability servers. For example, software packages are staged on a scalability server before downloading to end systems, and inventory can be stored at the scalability server before being uploaded to the manager.
With virtual applications, the scalability server also functions as the streaming server for virtual application packages that are streamed to target computers running Windows operating systems.
A scalability server consists of a number of system processes that run in the background without a visible user interface.
