Hierarchy of Administration Servers

Some client companies, for example MSP, may run multiple Administration Servers. It can be inconvenient to administer several separate Administration Servers, so a hierarchy can be applied. For the Administration Server that is in the Kaspersky infrastructure, both primary and secondary Administration Servers on your network are secondary Servers. You can add a Windows-based Administration Server as well as a Linux-based Administration Server.

A "primary/secondary" configuration for two Administration Servers provides the following options:

Hierarchy of Administration Servers provides support for multitenancy mode. This mode allows a main administrator to centrally manage multiple clients independently. Each client organization or office is isolated from others and is referred to as a tenant. You can allocate multiple managed devices along with their associated data, settings, policies, and tasks to a tenant, and configure user rights by tenant.

A primary Administration Server, installed in the main organization infrastructure, acts as a primary tenant. The primary Administration Server enables secondary or virtual Administration Servers—its isolated tenants—to independently receive and process their own events and work with their own resources, services, and configurations.

A service provider that has a number of client organizations, can provide the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console functionality including alert aggregation and response actions to each client organization independently. To achieve this, the service provider connects secondary or virtual Administration Servers as tenants for each client organization. The service provider delivers services by using their own personnel and resources.
