Nuance Management Center is a standard Microsoft ASP .NET MVC web application that is hosted
by Internet Information Services (IIS). The Nuance Management Center components include the
following:
l NMC server—Stores application data, such as organizations, sites, groups, and users. It
also stores transient data, such as log files.
l NMC console—Allows NMC administrators to create and manage objects, like groups and
users, assign licenses, run reports, and more. The NMC console does not have permanent
data storage. However, it does use a file share for temporary data storage to support file
uploads and downloads.
l Database instance—Stores license information, partial speech profiles, application usage
information, and audit data.
l Dragon clients—Users log in to their client computers where Nuance Management Center is
installed and connect to your NMC server to access shared words and commands.
Initially, you install the NMC server, NMC console, and the database instance on the same server.
However, you can optionally move your database instance to a separate database server after the
installation. Your NMC server can be one of the following:
l A single physical machine (smaller installations)
l Multiple physical machines load-balanced by a network traffic switch (larger installations)
