The Tenable Patch Server is a key component of the Tenable Patch Management (TPM). The Server provides administration services and policy deployments for products and connects with the Adaptiva Database, either locally or on a remote server.

The Server hosts both the Server software and a Tenable Patch Client instance. TPM uses both components to facilitate and simplify complex endpoint management processes, including caching, peer communication, content acquisition, and result reporting.
