2. Architecture Overview

A locally managed system requires all of these components:
A supported Web browser, which should already be installed on the system.
The Adaptec Web service which supplies content displayed on the Web
browser.
An Adaptec-supplied storage agent.
A remotely managed system requires all of these components:
The remote system must contain a browser.
The storage agent must always be installed on the system with the RAID
controller installed.
Remote and managed systems must have a TCP/IP connection.
The Web service can be installed on the same remote system as the browser, the
system with the RAID controller installed, or a third system.
Communication security is ensured because Secure-HTTP (S-HTTP) or SSL pro-
tocols are used to encrypt all transmitted data. Connection over an Ethernet
network, a corporate WAN, or VPN are supported.
