Agent Handlers can provide scalability for ePO - On-prem managed networks as the number of clients and managed products grow.
One ePO - On-prem server can easily manage up to 200,000 systems with only the Threat Prevention product installed. But, as the systems managed and the number of products integrated with your ePO - On-prem server increase the attempts to receive policies or send events to your server increase. This load increase also decreases the maximum number of systems manageable with the same ePO - On-prem server hardware.
Agent Handlers allow you to scale your ePO - On-prem infrastructure to manage more clients and products. You do this by adding Agent Handlers to manage an equivalent or larger number of agents with one logical ePO - On-prem deployment. By default, when you install the Agent Handlers software on a server, all Agent Handlers are used at the same order level unless custom assignment rules are created.
