1.2 NONSTOP SPAM ARCHITECTURE
The NonStop SPAM Architecture diagram shown below outlines the high-level design of NonStop SPAM.
The software includes, “NonStop Monitor”, the host component that is installed on each NonStop
server, and “NonnStop SPAM” the client component that is installed on the user’s PC. The SQL Server
Database can either be installed on the same PC or can be on a separate server machine.
