NCS Servers
An NCS Server provides central intelligence for a particular NCS service, but unlike with NCS 
Directors, there is no corresponding Node Director for an NCS Server. Instead the NCS Server 
communicates directly with NCS Agents. 
NCS Servers are implemented in a 2N redundancy fashion. The following figure illustrates the 
role of NCS Servers in a system. 
The following NCS Servers exist in a system:
z
Distributed Trace Server
z
Event Distribution Server
z
Management Access Server 
z
Persistent Store Server
A more detailed description is given together with the description of the respective NCS service 
later in this manual.

Sample Applications
The NetPlane software suit contains a set of sample applications and sample make files that 
ease the development of customer applications. They illustrate the use of the various APIs and 
serve as a good starting-point to develop your own applications.
