12. AVG DataCenter
The AVG DataCenter is a database that all AVG stations as well as the AVG Admin
Console program communicate with. The AVG Admin Console accesses the AVG
DataCenter to centrally define AVG settings and system parameters. AVG stations
connect to the AVG DataCenter to read the set up parameters; and to save their
currently defined setting and scan results.
The communication is possible only if the Remote Control Communication
Library component is properly installed on all stations, and connected to the AVG
DataCenter.
The AVG DataCenter contains an implemented SQL database, or it can be attached
to a separate database server running either on the same or another computer
within the local network.
Attention: Particular database engines can serve only a limited number of
connected computers. More information on this topic can be found in the
DataCenter
role
chapter.
12.1.Maintenance
After a considerable period of AVG Internet Security Network Edition use (i.e. AVG
Admin Console use), some inconsistencies or duplication in the AVG DataCenter
may appear. Such a situation puts increasing demands on the network load, and
the maintenance options are aggravated. For easy AVG DataCenter maintenance we
have prepared several scripts that will help you perform the frequently required
maintenance operations. During maintenance (when a script is active) the AVG
DataCenter is locked, and users cannot access it.
The maintenance scripts are available from the AVG Admin Console, menu Tools/
Database Maintenance.
12.2.Password protection
Access to the AVG DataCenter can be password protected, and the password is
saved directly in the AVG DataCenter. If the AVG Admin Console finds out that the
AVG DataCenter is password protected, it will require the password to be entered
upon every connection.
If you want to activate the AVG DataCenter access password protection, navigate to
the AVG Admin Server settings, DataCenter tab and in the DataCenter access
