Remote Service Manager (RSM)

The Remote Service Manager (RSM) is used to control other CygNet services. It is sometimes called a metadata service since it manages information about other CygNet services. Service control can be on the local machine, on other machines in the local data center, or on machines in a remote data center. CygNet Redundancy functionality is handled by the RSM.
