The connector

The Claro Connector is a light program installed on each device. It does not decide anything: it tells the orchestrator what the device has free, picks up the part that fits, does it and hands it back.

Where it runs

• Windows. A signed installer that runs the Claro Connector as a background service, or a portable version that needs no installation.
• Linux. A single file that runs without installation.
• Android. An app on Google Play, for phones and TVs with Android. It can also be installed from the panel.

The device is added from the panel, in a few clicks, and shows up in the list of machines as soon as the Claro Connector starts.

What it does on the device

• Reports what is free: processor, memory and what is installed.
• Picks up a part when the orchestrator says there is one for it, and only if it fits in the room that is free.
• Runs the part at the lowest priority the system has, below everything the owner uses.
• Gets the device ready for the services that need it, without administrator rights. See Hardware and software capacity.
• Updates itself, without anyone having to go to the device.

Why it is simple

A Claro Connector that only does what it gets is easy to install, to update and to trust. It runs the same way on a phone, a laptop and a server. And every decision stays in one place where it can be seen, measured and fixed.
