The EPM server requires a static IP or a DNS name to work in the LAN of the customer. The monitoring agent performs similar actions in the client side as that of cloud agent except that it does not send any data outside the network. The EPM server requires a license key to operate and is normally supplied with the number of hosts it is destined to handle.
