Deployment Guidelines
Consider the following when setting up your local Smart Protection Server:
• Smart Protection Server is a CPU-bound application. This means that increasing
CPU resources increases the number of simultaneous requests handled.
• Network bandwidth may become a bottleneck depending on network infrastructure
and the number of simultaneous update requests or connections.
• Additional memory might be required if there is a large number of concurrent
connections between Smart Protection Servers and endpoints.
Preparing to Install
The Smart Protection Server installation process formats your existing system for
program installation. VMware or Hyper-V installation requires the creation of a virtual
machine before installation. After determining the number of Smart Protection Servers
to use for your network, you can begin the installation process.
Tip: Install multiple Smart Protection Servers to ensure the continuity of protection in the
event that connection to a Smart Protection Server is unavailable.
You need the following information for the installation:
• Proxy server information
• A virtual machine server that fulfills the requirements for your network
