You can replicate vaults and enforce data control with workgroups.
Autodesk Vault Professional supports distributed team environments. You can replicate vaults and enforce data control with workgroups. Refer to the steps in this section for setting up a multi-site environment.
All design environments are unique. If you have any questions about the best Vault solution for your environment, we recommend that you contact your subscription center or speak with a trained Autodesk partner to help you select the best Vault configuration for your company needs.
If you are installing the server components for Vault Professional, you have several options to better support teams distributed across multiple locations. Vault Professional supports Multi-Site replication with a central remote database. Vault Professional also allows a single site to implement Vault with a dedicated database server.
Multiple remote sites can be configured to access the same vault data. A site is comprised of a dedicated Autodesk data management server and a file store. Each site accesses a shared AUTODESKVAULT SQL instance.
Replication is the process of copying data from one server to another server usually located in two different physical locations. This process allows the setup of a Vault environment which has two different locations and users will not have to spend time downloading large CAD files across their Wide Area Network (WAN) connection.
The connected workgroup feature in Autodesk Vault Professional supports the use of multiple database servers using Microsoft SQL Publisher/Subscriber technology. This technology allows the replication of the SQL database at multiple locations.
Follow the steps in this section to perform a distributed teams installation. Refer to Customize the Autodesk Vault Client Installation after you are done configuring your Vault Server installation.
When the Autodesk Vault Server is configured for multi-site support, proceed to the Autodesk Vault Client Installation section.
