## 8.1. The Architecture of an EKM Server

The architecture of an EKM server with a front-end web server is shown in Figure 8.1: Communication for EKM with Front-End Web Server. In this diagram, the EKM server is depicted in a multi-node configuration. For a single-node configuration, the same communication architecture is used, the only difference being that the front-end web server communicates with a single EKM cluster node.
