Topology of an Enterprise Vault Site

Enterprise Vault is a Microsoft Windows application. A site will have a database server and one or more Vault Servers,

the servers that run the Enterprise Vault software.

Each Vault Server archives data from applications, storing the data as files in Vault Stores. A Vault Store is a logical

storage object managed from within the Enterprise Vault software. Each Vault Store is made of partitions, and each

partition is a directory of archival storage.

Archival storage can be local disks in the Vault Server or direct- or SAN-attached storage arrays, but a typical choice is

some kind of Network Attached Storage (NAS). NAS is popular because of the ease of connectivity from multiple Vault

Servers; Enterprise Vault scales horizontally so cost-effective shared storage is an important part of a solution.

Only archived data is stored on the NAS device/system/appliance. The Database Server stores all its data on local disks

or on direct- or SAN-attached storage arrays. The Vault Servers store their indexes and other metadata on local disks or

on direct- or SAN-attached storage arrays as well.

Another efficiency of the Enterprise Vault software is that it compresses data before storing it, and its Single Instance

Storage (SIS) feature uses file level de-duplication technology to stop multiple copies of the same content from being

stored in a Vault Store partition.

Archive Manager and Enterprise Vault

Storage Archive Manager (SAM) is a 64-bit policy-driven archiving file system. The SAM's archiver

process copies files

from the file system to disk and/or tape archives and its releaser

process frees the space as required. These actions

are based on the policies set by the user for the file system.
