Stand-Alone Update Manager-
In case of large-scale network installations, Administrators can deploy multiple Update Managers across the network and configure Groups of clients to receive updates from the specified stand-alone Update Managers installed across the network. Update Managers helps a network achieve load balancing and can prevent network congestion as clients will no longer have to point to a single update source.
