Omnidex Network Services provide the core communication interface between the components of Omnidex. Based upon the TCP/IP standard, Omnidex Network Services provides the communication services for Omnidex's ODBC and JDBC drivers, as well as the internal communication used in Omnidex Grids.
Omnidex Network Services normally runs as a service in Microsoft Windows, or as a background daemon on Linux. The main process will listen for network requests and spawn additional processes to service each request. It is common to see many Omnidex processes running on an Omnidex server, each one handling a request from a user. Note that Omnidex favors a separate process for each request to help improve control and stability of the application.
