A typical Guided Search implementation is usually spread across multiple host servers. Each of these physical servers must have an EAC Agent that controls the components installed on the server.

The following diagram shows the architecture of the EAC.

The EAC Central Server communicates with EAC Agents that run on each machine hosting an entire implementation (or components that comprise an implementation). The EAC Server communicates to the Agents the information about the instance configuration and resource configuration. The Agents run the necessary components and their processes on each machine, such as Forge, Dgidx, and Dgraph.
