Index Server Cloud

The Index Server cloud provides indexing, content indexing, and search functionality to some Commvault products and features. The Index Server cloud is a deployment of the Index Server that provides fault tolerance and high availability of the Index Server data by distributing the data and search requests across multiple servers.

Components

The Index Server cloud uses the following components:

• High Availability Computing (HAC) Cluster

  The HAC cluster is a group of High Availability Computing nodes. High Availability Computing nodes are clients where the High Availability Computing package is installed. The High Availability Computing nodes coordinate the operations of individual Index Server nodes in an Index Server cloud.

• Index Store Pool

  The Index Store Pool is a group of clients that have the Index Store package installed. The clients in the Index Store Pool are the physical locations where content indexing and search operations are performed, as well as where data for Index Server clouds is stored.

• Index Server Cloud

  The Index Server Cloud is a logical CommCell entity used to configure a group of clients from an Index Store Pool for one or more Commvault features. Index Server clouds also have feature-specific schemas, or roles, that you can add to support content indexing and search functionality for specific Commvault features.
