Database Server The database server tracks all the relationships between data. It acts like a library card catalog, containing indexes and pointers of where to find related information. By default, the Autodesk data management server installs Microsoft® SQL Server 2008 SP1 Express. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 Express can be upgraded any time after the Autodesk data management server components are installed. The SQL server can be upgraded to: ■ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 Enterprise ■ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 S1 Standard File Store The file store and the database server work with each other. The database provides the index information for the location of files. The file store is the secure location on the server where the files are located. Vault Workgroup Vault Workgroup helps teams create and share, design and engineering information by securely organizing, managing, and tracking data in a central location. Ease of administration enables workgroup control of data access and security, and facilitates team-based design across disciplines. Because they can quickly manage their designs and track changes over time, users gain productivity without disruption to their natural design workflows. In addition, Vault Workgroup delivers lifecycle and revision control processes directly in the design application, which promotes faster cycle times and better-quality engineering data. Vault Collaboration Vault Collaboration includes all of the functionality in Autodesk Vault Workgroup and adds an advanced toolset that provides administrators with the scalability needed to manage large workgroups. Users can share engineering design data with downstream data consumers using the included web client and expose design-related information to the extended enterprise by publishing to Microsoft® SharePoint®.
