A SuperAgent is a distributed repository which is designed to reduce the load on ePO - On-prem. ePO - On-premmanages how the SuperAgent is replicated.
The SuperAgent caches information received from ePO - On-prem, the Main Repository, an HTTP, or an FTP repository, and distributes it to the agents in its broadcast domain. Configure a SuperAgent in every broadcast domain when managing agents in larger networks.
The Lazy Caching feature allows the SuperAgent to retrieve data from ePO - On-prem only when requested by a local agent system. Creating a hierarchy of SuperAgents with lazy caching further saves bandwidth and minimizes the load on ePO - On-prem.
A SuperAgent also broadcasts wake-up calls to other agents on the same network subnet. The SuperAgent receives a wake-up call from ePO - On-prem, then wakes up the agents in its subnet.
Note
This broadcast is an alternative to sending ordinary wake-up calls to each agent in the network or sending agent wake-up task to each computer.
