1) AVG DataCenter
consists of a database, and AVG Admin Server. The AVG Admin Server performs the role
of a mediator between the AVG DataCenter and AVG stations. The AVG Admin Console uses
the AVG Admin Server to approach the AVG DataCenter database, and to centrally define
settings for stations and system parameters. AVG stations approach the AVG Admin Server
to read the setup parameters; and to save their currently defined setting and scan results into
the AVG DataCenter.
AVG Admin Server also works as a local update source. If you deploy the UpdateProxy role
to multiple servers, you can then use them for updating stations and keeping the bandwidth/
load in balance.
2) AVG Admin Console
is a program for administration of AVG stations. It communicates directly with the AVG
Admin Server.
3) Stations
communicate with the AVG Admin Server that accepts the default settings, requests specific
settings, sends the scan results etc.
4) AVG Technologies Server
provides AVG Admin Server/Servers with update files.
1.2. Key features and functions
AVG Internet Security Business Edition offers the following functions:
Remote installation
Using this function you can easily install AVG on all stations in the local network. This remote
installation is secured by the AVG Network Installer Wizard – a program for direct remote
installation and/or creation of an installation script that makes it possible to run the Setup
installation program on all remote network stations.
Centrally controlled updates
All AVG stations in the network can be updated centrally using the AVG Admin Console.
Server roles
AVG Internet Security Business Edition can now act in multiple roles, where each role can
be deployed separately (DataCenter role used for remote stations management, UpdateProxy
role for managing updates), which allows the user to divide the load among multiple physical
servers.
