Chapter 1      Understanding Service-Oriented Orchestration and the Cisco Process Orchestrator
  Process Orchestrator System Components
The web console runs on a Microsoft IIS web server. Process Orchestrator environments can span 
Process Orchestrator servers, so if a deployment scenario requires breaking up automation for security,

single point of access for occasional users.
