  • Swarm Cluster Installer - Browser-based installation utility for vCenter environment

  • Swarm Cluster Services - Cluster for configuration and storage node deployment

  • Storage Cluster - Cluster for Swarm storage nodes

  • Elasticsearch - Cluster for search and historical metrics, with DataCore-specific customization via an RPM

  • Content Gateway - Gateway for cloud-based client access (S3)

  • Storage UI - Website for storage cluster management

  • Content UI - Website for cloud content management

  • SwarmFS - Optional connector for NFS clients
