Appliance Overview
e-DMZ Security’s Distributed Processing Appliance (DPA) is an add-on appliance
designed to support distributed architecture deploymentrequirements for the
Total Privileged Access Management (TPAM) suite.
DPA Deployment: As reflected in the diagram below, optional DPA(s) can be added
to an existing PAR and/or eGuardPostdeployment to distribute various processing
functions to better support widely distributed architectures

DPA H ighlights:
• Provides
Distributed Controls
• Reduces external
port requirements
• Localpassword
check/change
• Local session
control
• Local session
recording
• Automatic load
balancing
• Scalability

Distributed Processing: The distributed processing features provided by theDPA
depend on the TPAM modules enabled on the primary PAR/eGuardPost appliance.
DPA supports distributed process options for the Privileged Password
Management (PPM) and Privileged SessionManagement (PSM) modules. The
distributed functions provided through the DPA(s) can support local processing
for: Password Checks; Password Change; Session Proxy; Session Recording;
Recording Archive.
EachDPA is able to support up to 150 concurrent PSM sessions providing
unlimited session management and recording scalability.
Reduced Port Requirements: Because the DPA is deployed locally – WAN basedport
requirements for TPAM deployment are limited to SSH only. Distributed PPM
features (i.e. Password Check/Change) are processed via an SSH connection
between the Primary PAR/eGuardPostappliance and associated DPA. Distributed
PSM features (Session Proxy) are established through and SSH connection
between the user and associated DPA. All target device connections are established
by theassociated local DPA over the LAN.
