Pearl Echo’s Employee Internet Management technology is based on an independent agent-server architecture. By creating an independent service, Pearl Echo is not affected by high traffic volumes, how users access the Internet, or where your end users are physically located. Pearl Echo’s Employee Internet Management technology does not suffer from the performance and security problems of proxy monitoring solutions or from the overload and network dependency limitations of network sniffer solutions.
The Pearl Echo Server Software runs as an independent service resident on one of your Windows Domain or Stand Alone Servers or on a Windows Workstation. The Internet access rules you create at the Pearl Echo Administration Machine are retrieved by your managed workstations through a secure, zero-maintenance agent loaded on your Windows workstations.
LAN/WAN/Internet Setup
Terminal Server or Citrix Server Setup
The same secure, zero-maintenance agent is responsible for sending -- or echoing -- actual or attempted Internet transactions back to the Pearl Echo Administration Machine. For ultimate efficiency, Internet access rules are applied at the workstation by the Pearl Echo agent. Data to be logged is first compressed by the agent before being sent back to the Administration Machine on a path that is not dependent upon the path the workstation uses to access the Internet. The Pearl Echo Workstation agent can be installed manually from the Pearl Echo CD or automatically deployed by the Windows Installer files provided with Pearl Echo. In a Terminal Services or Citrix environment, the secure Workstation agent is simply loaded on the Terminal/Citrix server. Once deployed, the Pearl Echo Workstation agent is self-updating; the Workstation agent automatically retrieves any updates or upgrades to Pearl Echo when you update your Pearl Echo Server Software.
With Pearl Echo's Mobility Monitor™ technology, managed workstations can be connected to your local area network, wide area network or completely detached from your private network. The Pearl Echo Workstation agent does its job no matter how or where your users connect to the Internet.
Pearl Echo's agent-server technology is extremely efficient, has a small footprint, adds negligible network traffic, and scales well due to its agent-server architecture. Because Pearl Echo runs as its own service, Echo has no dependencies on legacy proxy servers or firewalls.
