The idea behind using multiple PerformanceGuard Frontend servers is to distribute the load.
If you want to install multiple Frontend servers, simply run the PerformanceGuard installer (as described in the previous) on each required computer and then select to only install the Frontend server component.

If you install more than one Frontend server, you must use a separate database for each Frontend server service.


PerformanceGuard agents send data to Frontend servers that in turn send data to the Backend server. The idea behind using multiple Frontend servers is to distribute the load. If using multiple Frontend servers, you typically install the Frontend server services on separate computers, and you always use a separate database for each Frontend server. Without separate databases for each Frontend server much of the load distribution advantage would be lost.
