ARC PRODUCT FAMILY > ARC
Virtual Data Source (VDS)
ARC Load balancer: As the name suggests, ARC Load Balancer is
an ARC component that acts as the first point of contact for a user
connection to the database and directs it to the least busy ARC
Virtual Data Port. In large concurrent user environment, distribution
of processing responsibility of incoming transactions is spread among
multiple ARC Virtual Data Servers. ARC Load balancer runs on a Windows
Server or UNIX box and can typically handle up to 50 ARC VDPs
ARC Mux: ARC Mux manages the execution of a single query in
distributed environment including the enforcement of security policy.
It dispatches the separated queries to the real database. ARC MuX runs
on a separate UNIX or Windows server box. Depending on the hardware
configuration, a Mux can handle up to 100 database servers.
ARC VDP: ARC Virtual Data Port acts as the database proxy for
virtual schema. In addition to that, the functions of Hippocratic
security provided by ARC EAC are also built into VDP. A VDP server
runs on a Windows Server or UNIX box and can handle up to 50 ARC Muxes.
ARC Studio Mapper: ARC administrator GUI tool used for mapping
the multiple schemas into one virtual schema. Runs on a Windows
desktop environment.
ARC Studio Standard: ARC Studio Standard is the policy
development and policy administration GUI tool that runs on any
Windows operating system.
ARC Audit Reporter: ARC Audit reporter is the auditors tool
for viewing the policy, evidence of enforcement and producing the
reports from audit logs. Audit Reporter allows exporting reports in
variety of formats such as PDF and CSV.
This tool is used by internal auditing departments /auditing firms to
discover who is accessing what? in current IT environment and
generate audit reports with required granularity (Role.Users.DB.Schema.Table.Column).
Ad hoc reporting on access logs with multiple filters is possible.
This is a greatly simplified and time saving option as opposed to
conventional technique of gathering multiple audit logs of diverse
granularity from DBs, applications, web servers and operating systems
and combining them in to meaningful reports.
ARC Dashboard:
Functional Overview
ARC VDS is a multiplexed network of EAC servers managed by ARC Name
Server that uniquely identifies the granular most data element. The
node at the root of Federation provides connectivity to various data
consumers. Those see the Federation as one big database containing the
tables of all the member databases thru virtual schema. The
distributed processing of SQL queries is transparent to the data
consumers
