Database Server
The database server tracks all the relationships between data. It acts like a
library card catalog, containing indexes and pointers of where to find related
information. By default, the Autodesk data management server installs
Microsoft
®
SQL Server 2008 SP1 Express. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 Express
can be upgraded any time after the Autodesk data management server
components are installed. The SQL server can be upgraded to:
■ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 Enterprise
■
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 S1 Standard
File Store
The file store and the database server work with each other. The database
provides the index information for the location of files. The file store is the
secure location on the server where the files are located.
Vault Workgroup
Vault Workgroup helps teams create and share, design and engineering
information by securely organizing, managing, and tracking data in a central
location. Ease of administration enables workgroup control of data access and
security, and facilitates team-based design across disciplines. Because they can
quickly manage their designs and track changes over time, users gain
productivity without disruption to their natural design workflows. In addition,
Vault Workgroup delivers lifecycle and revision control processes directly in
the design application, which promotes faster cycle times and better-quality
engineering data.
Vault Collaboration
Vault Collaboration includes all of the functionality in Autodesk Vault
Workgroup and adds an advanced toolset that provides administrators with
the scalability needed to manage large workgroups. Users can share engineering
design data with downstream data consumers using the included web client
and expose design-related information to the extended enterprise by publishing
to Microsoft
