The Rapid Recovery Central Management Console is an optional component intended for environments with two or more Rapid Recovery Cores. This component is a web portal providing a central interface where you can group, manage, and generate reports for multiple Cores.
Operating system requirements for the Central Management Console are identical to the requirements for the Rapid Recovery Core. These components can be installed on the same machine or on different machines, as your needs dictate.
The Windows 8, 8.1, and 10, and Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 operating systems must have the ASP.NET 4.5 feature installed on the server for proper loading of the GUI. This configuration is included for you as part of the Rapid Recovery installer.
