Solution Architecture
Solution Components
CS=Commserve: Coordinates all activity in CommCell environment.
MA=Media Agent: Conducts the movement of data from source to destination
VSA=Virtual Server agent: Provides complete data protection and recovery for virtual machine data in VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC 1.x and vSAN 6.x.
You can deploy Commvault to protect workloads running in VMware Cloud on AWS. The vCenter Server and hosts reside on high-performance servers in the AWS datacenter. For best results, use the Elastic Network interface (ENI) to backup data to AWS S3 libraries.
Note: It is mandatory to add vCenter Server using its public FQDN to the Commvault backup solution.
