There are ten different, specialised servers in Pandora FMS 3.x, in change of the previously mentioned tasks. All ten servers are integrated in one single application, generically named "Pandora Server" that is a multithread (multiprocess) application which executes in sepparated subprocesses (threads) each of the instances or Pandora FMS's specialised servers.
