A company manages thousands of network infrastructure devices from several vendors with HP
Intelligent Management Center (IMC). What advantage does the HP IMC distributed deployment
model provide for this company?

A.
The master server manages HP network infrastructure devices; slave servers manage non-HP
devices.

B.
The master server maintains the embedded database and Web browser interface; slave
servers implement management functions.

C.
A slave server duplicates the exact functions and database maintained on the master server
and acts as a passive standby in case the master fails.

D.
The slave servers offload some of the components from the master server to enhance
performance.

Explanation:
The IMC modules may be installed on more than one server to meet specific
performance requirements. A typical scenario is where the system has one Master server with
IMC Platform deployed and multiple Slave servers with other modules deployed.

Note: IMC Standard Edition delivers an extensive set of capabilities for managing
large heterogeneous networks and provides scalability and high availability through a flexible
distributed deployment model;
with its modular design, IMC software can be deployed across multiple servers to provide
increased scalability and resilience
