Installing Arctera Insight Information Governance in AWS Cloud Environment

You can install Information Governance server on a virtual machine created in AWS environment. You can have following type of deployment:

  • All Information Governance components on AWS environment.

  • Hybrid deployment, where some components are on-premise and other components on cloud.

Note the following points,

  • For hybrid deployment, establish site to site VPN connectivity for secure connection.

  • Add appropriate firewall setting.

  • Port 135 should be open on AWS File Server.

Arctera doesn't stipulate how a data center is defined. As long as the environment is based on certified technology and meets system requirements the environment will be supported. Arctera Support will diagnose issues in the same manner as they would for on-premise installations unless they can verify that the issue is related to a problem with the underlying cloud infrastructure.

Performance of cloud platforms may vary depending on the cloud infrastructure, factors such as shared storage, network and processing power will all play a role in the performance of the solution. Any published Information Governance performance metrics are based on dedicated hardware, networking and processing within a single data center (unless specified). Arctera will not accept support calls based on performance unless the issue can be reproduced removing the cloud platform.
