Matrix OE runs on a Central Management Server (CMS). A federated CMS model permits scaling Matrix infrastructure orchestration capabilities to manage up to four times the number of resources possible when using a single CMS. In this model, a primary CMS, with Matrix infrastructure orchestration software installed, can direct automated provisioning of resources across multiple secondary CMSs. The Matrix federated CMS architecture supports multi-site operations—with secondary CMSs at geographically distributed locations.
