			AVG Admin Server

The AVG Admin Server is the key component of the AVG Remote Admistration. It
allows central management of AVG stations through the AVG Admin Console. The
AVG Admin Server provides the following three services:

AVG DataCenter

	The AVG DataCenter is a database that all AVG stations, as well as the
	AVG Admin Console program, communicate with. The AVG Admin Console
	accesses the AVG DataCenter to centrally define AVG settings and system
	parameters. AVG stations connect to the AVG DataCenter to read the 
	parameters, and to save their currently defined settings and scan
	results.
	
	AVG Admin console is only available in Windows version. It is distributed 
	in the package containing AVG Admin Server for Windows.

	Remote administration of Windows AVG stations must be enabled by marking
	the respective checkbox during installation. You can then type your AVG 
	Admin Server in the "Remote Administration" field, available in menu 
	"Advanced AVG Settings" on each station.


AVG Proxy Server

	The AVG Proxy Server serves as a proxy server for downloading and
	distributing updates to your stations. Also, the AVG Admin Server can
	provide update distribution within the local network. It can work as
	a very simple web server offering the update files to AVG stations. The
	update files are downloaded from the AVG central update servers just
	once, which significantly decreases the internet connection link load,
	especially in larger networks.

	In version 7.5, Admin Server only provided mirroring of all updates for  
	AVG stations. With every new update, a huge "full update" file was
	downloaded together with a small "differential" update from previous 
	version for all supported platforms. The update files were downloaded 
	only once for all Admin's stations, but the full update was not often 
	necessary.

	The AVG Proxy Server waits until an AVG station asks for update, and 
	after deciding which one is needed, it starts looking if that update
	has already been downloaded on some other station request. Only if it 
	has not, it is downloaded now.


AVG Managed Update

	The AVG Managed Update is a service for our clients that enables forced
	AVG updates invoked by the AVG Technologies corporation. Using the
	service, a registered AVG Admin Server can be prompted by an external
	incentive (a special TCP/UDP packet sent by a program residing at the
	AVG Technologies server) that a new update is available. The update
	files are downloaded then, and an update notification is distributed to
	the specified AVG stations instantly.
