12. AVG DataCenter
The 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.
The communication with stations is possible only if the Remote Administration
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 Business 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
You can password protect access to the AVG Datacenter database and to the AVG
Admin Server.
· Access to the AVG DataCenter database
The username and password for the database access is mandatory and it can be
changed within the AVG Admin Server Settings, DataCenter tab, Database
Access section.
Note: The login details for the internal Firebird database are predefined and
cannot be changed.
