All services in HC 7 are now Dot NET services except HC Server service and HC Client service.
Here is a brief overview of important HC 7 services.
Hosting Controller Remoting Service
This service handles communication between all cluster machines including Windows and Linux platforms. If this service is disabled or stopped, all HC 7 services will fail to start. This is the most important service of HC 7.
Remoting is one of the latest approaches used for application communication. It allows applications located on different servers to communicate with each other, where these servers can even be in different networks. HC 7 uses remoting for all its inter application communication. Since remoting allows applications located on different servers to communicate with each other (where these computers can even be in different networks and locations), the resulting communication is smooth, secure, much efficient and more generic. Here are some aspects of remoting service:
Remoting service works as a wrapper for other services. Other services (COMs) are limited to a machine only i.e. they cannot be called from any application outside the machine. So the remoting service is used for calling methods of the COMs.
