Learn CommVault 10: Essential Components for Data Protection

This course is designed for both newcomers and experienced CommServe administrators looking to deepen their understanding of CommVault version 10. Master the core components of a CommCell environment and gain skills highly sought after in today's IT landscape – skills that will give you a competitive edge.

CommServe: The heart of your CommCell. The CommServe host acts as the central management component, coordinating and executing all CommCell operations. It houses Microsoft SQL Server databases critical for storing configuration, security, and operational history. A CommCell environment can have only one CommServe host, and the software is compatible with physical, virtual, and clustered environments.

MediaAgent: The data transmission powerhouse. The MediaAgent manages high-performance data movement and oversees data storage libraries. The CommServe server directs MediaAgent tasks. For enhanced scalability, multiple MediaAgents can be deployed within a CommCell environment. Supports installation in physical, virtual, and clustered environments.

Client: A logical grouping of software agents, the Client facilitates the protection, management, and movement of data associated with a specific client. Understanding clients is fundamental to effective data management.

Agent: The workhorse of data protection. Agents are software modules installed on client computers to safeguard specific data types. A variety of agent software is available to manage diverse data, including Windows file systems and Oracle databases. Agents can be deployed in physical, virtual, and clustered environments, and can be installed either on the client machine or on a proxy server. Explore the range of available agents:

CommCell Console: Your central management interface. The CommCell Console provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring and controlling active jobs, and for viewing events related to all CommCell activities. It enables centralized and decentralized organizations to manage data movement through a single, unified platform.

Web Server: Enabling web-based access. The Web Server provides web services for applications like the Command Center and Web Console, communicating with the CommServe system to allow web-based access to CommCell and end-user operations. While often installed with the CommServe component, the Web Server can be hosted on multiple platforms for improved security and scalability, especially in multi-tenant environments.

Web Console: A user-friendly web application. The Web Console empowers end-users to manage their data, perform reporting, download software packages, and manage virtual machines – all through a web browser. Multiple Web Console components can be associated with a single Web Server or distributed across different Web Servers.
