VirusScan Thin Client

As the Internet becomes the hub of an increasing number of business transactions and users, especially mobile users depend on network availability to perform mission critical functions, bandwidth becomes essential resource for IT to manage. At 1/5 the size of competitive offerings, VirusScan TC keeps down the cost of anti-virus management by reducing the software deployment bandwidth and giving the administrator total control.

THIN.
The package an administrator sends out to the workstations on the network when deploying VirusScan TC is 1/5 the size of competitive solutions. Not only that, but the unique "distributed deployment" mechanisms available allow the administrator to intelligently use bandwidth where it is most plentiful and avoid using it where it is scarce.

TOTAL CONTROL.
Because there is no end-user interface to VirusScan TC, it puts all control in the hands of the administrator, where it belongs. It takes control out of the hands of the end users.

INTERNET-READY.
Because the desktop agent and the management server communicate via standard Internet protocol, VirusScan TC can be managed over the internet - even desktops that seldom connect to the corporate network are constantly under the administrator's control.

Features

• Small Package Size
Because the size of the package deployed to workstations is small, it allows administrators to reduce the cost of deployment.

• Distributed Deployment Capabilities
By allowing administrators to locate the software package in any of a number of network locations, VirusScan TC gives them the power to intelligently use bandwidth where it is most plentiful.

• No End-User Interface
By eliminating the end-user interface, VirusScan TC eliminates the headache and expense associated with end users becoming infected because they misconfigured or disabled the software. It puts all control in the hands of the administrator, allowing him to enforce anti-virus policy with ease.

• Incremental Automatic Updates
VirusScan TC automatically updates itself using incremental updates. It downloads only the new virus definitions added to the definition files since the last update was performed, keeping the bandwidth required for ongoing updates at an absolute minimum and reducing the cost of ongoing maintenance.

• Total Visibility
The only way an administrator can tell whether his anti-virus policy is effective is through feedback from the network nodes. VirusScan TC, working in concert with the ePolicy Orchestrator management platform, gives administrators the valuable virus activity and product status data they need to proactively manage the anti-virus policy for the whole organization, and make regional or departmental adjustments where necessary.

• Standard IP Communication
Because the desktop agent and the management server communicate via IP, VirusScan TC can be managed virtually anywhere, from virtually anywhere. Regardless of the type or architecture of the networks that connect the server and the agent, they can communicate. This gives administrators unprecedented ability to enforce policies for mobile and occasionally-connected users.

• Best Detection and Cleaning
VirusScan TC uses the same scanning engine as the rest of the products in the McAfee family. The McAfee virus scanning engine is consistently rated tops in the industry in independent tests, and offers the best protection money can buy.
