Components

Description

Policy Manager

Invokes the Arctera Information Classifier where you can manage the classification policies. You can configure policies, and enable or disable them from the Policy Manager.

For more information, see the Arctera Information Classifier Online Help

Classification Server

This is a type of Information Governance server on which Arctera Information Classifier is deployed. This server receives file paths and applies policies to them to classify the files.

It evaluates each file against a set of classification policies from the Policy Manager. The tags associated with files are then displayed on the Management Console.

You can either install the Classification Server on a standalone server or assign the Classification Server role to any Information Governance server other than a pure Indexer. However, Arctera recommends that you deploy a standalone server, because classification is resource intensive.

For more information on installing the Classification server, see the section Installing the worker node in the Information Governance Installation Guide.

For information about installing Information Governance nodes, see the Arctera Insight Information Governance Installation Guide.

Information Governance Management Server

Hosts the Policy Manager. It also initiates and monitors the classification requests.

Information Governance Indexer

The Indexer is the central platform for distributing the classification requests among the Classification Servers. It also stores the classification tag information for files.
