Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud - Administrator's Guide - Manual (Page 7)

Acronis Backup Management Console enables you to connect directly to the management server.
This connection is required to integrate the management server with vCenter Server and to deploy
Agents for VMware. Once these operations are completed, the console is not necessary for
functioning of Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud. However, you may need it for deploying
additional agents, for troubleshooting, and for other administrative tasks. The console can be
installed along with the management server or on any other machine that has network access to the
management server.
Agent for vCloud obtains events from vCloud Director via the RabbitMQ Server AMQP broker. If you
do not have RabbitMQ Server, add it to your vCloud infrastructure.
Installation example
The following diagram illustrates a typical installation and interaction of the components. In our
example, we assume that vCloud Director uses Microsoft SQL databases. Therefore, we can place the
management server databases on the same virtual machine with vCloud Director databases.
However, the management server databases must run on a separate SQL Server instance.
Acronis Backup Management Console is installed on the same virtual machine with the management
server.
