FCService is the Web server component of FlashConnect. To achieve its high performance goals, FlashConnect uses advanced UNIX features, such as Shared Memory and Named Pipes, to operate closely with your Web server.
FCService must be installed on the same physical system as your Web server, but can be located on a different machine than the database. If the site runs multiple Web servers on the same physical system, FCService only needs to be installed once. If Web servers are installed on multiple physical systems, then FCService must be installed once on each physical system.
Locating FCService and the database on different machines optimizes performance, and when used in conjunction with a firewall, increases security.
