This window lets you view and define the assessment server pools used in your assessment configurations. If you have multiple assessment servers on your network, creating assessment server pools allows you to control which assessment server resources are used for each assessment configuration on a very granular level. For example, if you have four Nessus assessment servers, put server A and server B in server pool 1, and server C and server D in server pool 2. Then, in your assessment configuration you can specify which server pool to use.
