Operating and monitoring CentricStor Technical design
The figure below shows the components and the connections used for control and
monitoring (the Fibre Channel networking and the paths to the hosts are not shown):

In this example GXCC runs on a CentricStor computer. The data is made available by the
VLP InfoBroker. All GXCC output data is sent to the remote computer (X11 server) and
there displayed on the screen.
In the case of a low-speed data connection between CentricStor and the remote computer
the large data quantities to be transferred result in performance problems.
Consequently a configuration without X11 server provides a better solution:
