How the software works

How the software works
McAfee ePO software is designed to be extremely flexible. It can be set up in many different ways, to
meet your unique needs.
The software follows the classic client-server model, in which a client system (system) calls into your
server for instructions. To facilitate this call to the server, a McAfee Agent is deployed to each system
in your network. Once an agent is deployed to a system, the system can be managed by your ePolicy
Orchestrator server. Secure communication between the server and managed system is the bond that
connects all the components of your ePolicy Orchestrator software. The figure below shows an
example of how your ePolicy Orchestrator server and components inter-relate in your secure network
environment.
