Servers, Workstations, Mobile Devices, and Network Nodes (EAM)

A software server is a commercial software environment, which contains a set of applications. A software server can be deployed on a hardware server.

A hardware server is a device that serves data or other support for devices on the network. It usually has higher specifications than client devices, such as workstations or mobile devices.

A workstation is a client machine to which an application or a server can be deployed.

A mobile device is designed to be easy to carry and used remotely to access the network.

Network nodes can represent other type of objects connected to the network (routers, switches, firewalls, modems, printers, faxes, etc).

These objects can be created in the following diagrams:

• Creating a Software or Hardware Server, Workstation, Mobile Device, or Network Node
  You can create servers, workstations, mobile devices or network nodes from the palette, Browser, or Model menu.
• Software and Hardware Server, Workstation, Mobile Device, and Network Node Properties
  To open a software or hardware server, workstation, mobile device, or network node property sheet and view or edit its properties, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry.
• Modeling Cluster Servers and Virtual Machines
  You can model complex machine-in-machine environments using the Type and Virtual properties.
