•

Exceed can be used to display Oracle Utilities Network Management System clients on networks with minimal (3-4ms) latency between the PC clients and application server.

•

Exceed onDemand should be used to display Oracle Utilities Network Management System clients on networks with higher latency between the PC client and application server
