# VSPC Overview

The Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) is used at a partner level to manage tenant accounts for end customers.

{% hint style="info" %}
Storage and licensing for BaaS services purchased by Hosted Network partners are allocated to the partner/reseller account as a pool, allowing the partner to create sub-accounts for end customers and allocate storage and licensing to these accounts as they see fit.
{% endhint %}

### Key Features

The key areas of the VSPC portal to be familiar with in relation to BaaS services are as follows:

* #### Companies

  These are end customer tenancies that are created to allocate BaaS storage and licensing to a specific end customer
* **Configuration > Notifications**\
  SMTP settings can be configured to allow email notifications for backup jobs via whatever SMTP service the partner has available<br>

If using VSPC to manage Veeam agents (eg. for physical servers or sites with no Veeam infrastructure), the following other areas are also relevant.

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information on managing Veeam agents directly via VSPC without Veeam B\&R, see: [Configuration of Veeam agents via VSPC](/support/services/cloud/backup-as-a-service/configuration-of-veeam-agents-via-vspc.md)
{% endhint %}

* **Discovery**\
  This section can be used to deploy and manage Veeam Agents to servers and workstations to allow for direct backup to a BaaS cloud repository. A simple management agent can be deployed either manually or via mass deployment methods (eg. network-based, AD discovery, CSV upload), after which Veeam Backup agents can be pushed to machines as required.
* **Backup Jobs & Protected Data**\
  This is where existing configured job and backup data can be viewed for management and recovery purposes
* **Configuration > Backup Policies**\
  Custom backup policies and schedules can be configured to be applied to Veeam Agents
