# Oracle Connection Manager

A process that resides on its own computer that offers connection routing for environments where:

- A large numbers of users need to access a single service through a single protocol.

- Different protocols are installed on the client and server, making a typical connection fail.
- Typical Net8 connections require the client and server to have the same protocol installed.
- Control of client access to designated servers in a TCP/IP environment is required.
