Vault File Server

The Vault File Server is a simple file store management system that allows you to move and configure a file store. Sometimes in multi-site environments a latency can occur when the Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) communicates with SQL. To reduce this latency, the File Server talks directly to the ADMS instead. Similarly, the Vault client(s) communicate directly with the ADMS for metadata and the File Server for file upload/download events, reducing the time it takes to update the file store.

Important: The File Server machine must be able to access the machine where the ADMS Console is installed.

Note: Although the File Server supports a multi-site environment, all file replication must be scheduled from the ADMS Console.
