What are some use cases for installing multiple CPMs?

Installing multiple Central Privileged Managers (CPMs) has practical use cases that enhance the management and security of privileged accounts. One significant reason for deploying multiple CPMs is to accommodate the total number of accounts managed. In environments where organizations have a large number of privileged accounts, a single CPM may not suffice to handle the load effectively. Multiple CPMs can share the responsibility of managing these accounts, ensuring that the infrastructure remains scalable and capable of handling additional accounts as needed, thereby optimizing performance and availability.

Moreover, additional CPMs can help reduce administrative overhead by distributing workload among them. This means that tasks such as password changes, monitoring, and compliance reporting can be executed more efficiently. When the tasks are distributed across several CPMs, it reduces the burden on any single system, potentially leading to faster processing times and a more responsive management experience.

By combining these benefits, organizations can achieve a more robust and efficient cycle of privileged account management, maximizing both functionality and security in their environment.
