Centralized Architecture (v8.9.0)

Centralized computing is a type of computing architecture where all or most of the processing/computing is performed on a central server. Centralized computing enables the deployment of all of a central server's computing resources, administration and management. CxSAST supports centralized architecture, where all server components are installed on the same host.

CxSAST also supports following architecture types:

• Distributed Architecture - where any or all of the server components are installed on dedicated hosts.
• High Availability Architecture - where more than one manager is available to control system management, ensuring that in cases where one manager fails the system will continue to be fully operational.

Communication between the CxClient and CxManager as well as communication between the CxManager and the CxEngine are via HTTP (by default). HTTPS can also be configured.
