The same secure, zero maintenance agent is responsible for sending    or 

echoing    actual or attempted Internet transactions back to the Pearl Echo 

server.  For ultimate efficiency, Internet access decisions are made at the 

client agent.  Data to be logged is first compressed by the agent before being 

sent back to the server 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 from the Pearl Echo CD or automatically deployed by the 

Windows Installer files provided with Pearl Echo.  Once deployed, the Pearl 

Echo Workstation agent is self healing; the Workstation agent automatically 

gathers any updates or upgrades to Pearl Echo when you update your Pearl 

Echo server. 

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 Employee Internet Management technology is extremely 

efficient, adds negligible network traffic and scales well due to its client server 

architecture. Depending on the size of your network, loads can be balanced 

by running multiple Pearl Echo services and pointing workstations to the 

appropriate server. 

Because Pearl Echo runs as its own service, Echo has no dependences on 

legacy Proxy Servers or Firewalls.
