Solutio n Descriptio n Symantec Enterprise Vault Enterprise Vault s oftware is designed to be a long-term, scalable store for unstr uctured information.
Topology of an Enterprise Vault Site Enterprise Vault is a Microsoft Windows application. A site will have a database server and one or more Vault Servers, the servers that run th e Enterprise Vault s oftware. Each Vault Server archives data from applications, storing t he data as files in Vault Stores.
The SAM file system can be viewed as a cache: All the files a re kept in the cache until i t fills up, at which point the oldest or least rec ently accessed files are released 2 . If a released file is later required, the data is quickly brought back from the archives by the SAM's stager 2 process.
