Terminology
-
SaaS server
A SaaS server is a Turbonomic instance in a public cloud environment that IBM provisions, maintains, and updates on your behalf. This server can manage the same targets that a customer-hosted Turbonomic instance supports.

Secure client (secure connector for hybrid support)
A secure client, also known as the secure connector for hybrid support, is an agent that you install in your on-prem environment so that a SaaS server can manage on-prem targets, such as VMware vCenter and Red Hat OpenShift.
The secure client automatically updates each time your Turbonomic representative updates your SaaS server to a new version. The update process keeps the version of the secure client components (probes and tunnel) in sync with the server. If the secure client is unable to update for some reason, it attempts to update periodically until it succeeds.
For more information on the secure client installation methods, see this topic.
Note:A secure client is not required if your SaaS server manages only cloud, cloud-based APM, and cloud-based container platform targets. You need to perform certain tasks to enable or deploy these targets.
For more information on cloud and cloud-based APM targets, see this topic.
For more information on container platform targets, see this topic.
