> #### NameServer

> The NameServer is an administrative component that can be integrated with the Transaction Server and AppServer. The NameServer works with a pool of brokers to identify and distribute client requests to register specific application services. For example, an AppServer broker can register Application Services with a NameServer; a WebSpeed broker can register WebSpeed Services that it provides with a NameServer. Also, a NameServer can connect a client request for a WebSpeed Service that is registered with the NameServer with an available WebSpeed broker. The NameServer can also provide location transparency.

> Fathom supports discovering and monitoring NameServers. You can also manage activities associated with NameServers from the Fathom Management console.

> Note: The NameServer can also be configured to work with other OpenEdge products such as OpenEdge Dataservers and SonicMQ ® Adapter. However, these features are beyond the scope of this document.
