Use an Additional Web Server

With an Additional Web Server, you can access the Orion Web Console remotely, from a location other than your primary Orion server.

Deploying an Additional Web Server might be helpful in the following cases:

• The number of users logged in to the Orion Web Console at the same time is close to 50.

• Orion Web Console is having performance issues.

  The Orion Web Console performance depends on the performance of the computer where you open the browser. See Browser requirements in the latest system requirements.
