TMMS failover cluster consists of two main components:

  • TMMS Management Server
  • Local Communication Server(LCS) Failover cluster
    • Domain Controller (Could be Existing Domain Controller)
    • Shared storage
    • LCS node 1
    • LCS node 2

The LCS server software provides the connection services from all devices. It consists of a number of programs and information files. The default installation directory for LCS fail over cluster is in share storage Q:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Communication Server.

The server provides a repository for client connection.
