In all the methods described in this section, it is always assumed that the vProtect Node only communicates with the protected platform and server reponsible for configuration and metadata management. This means that:

• it is always the Node that requires access to the infrastructure (protected platforms APIs, storage etc., guest VMs for iSCSI shares, etc.)

• the server only needs to be accessible to the Nodes and admin browser over HTTP/HTTPS (which means that it can usually reside anywhere in the infrastructure)
