You should read below article, How CASO works.

Hi Thomas,

It all really depends on where you locate your catalogs. If you keep them on the MMS servers, then the CASO is a glorified reporting and centralised management tool (which is what I used it for); if you replicate the catalogs, then you have offsite recoverability of them; and if you centralise them on the CASO, it then dishes out jobs etc. to the MMS servers.

Are you wanting to control the MMS servers and initiate jobs on them via the CASO? Do you want to back them all up via the CASO (ie. backup locally on site, and then duplicate the information to the CASO)?
