Shinken Entreprise includes 7 daemons. Shinken Enterprise's architecture has been designed according to the Unix Way: one tool, one task. Shinken Enterprise has an architecture where each part is isolated and connects to the others via standard interfaces. Shinken Enterprise is based on a HTTP backend. This will help you building a highly available or distributed monitoring architecture quite easily.
