Solution Brief
Anti-Virus Optimized for Virtualized Environments
Images created dynamically or persistently will have protection throughout the VDI session. Within
virtualized environments, ensuring that .DAT updates are timely and on-access scanning is enabled
provides critical active protection during each session. Even though you can re-image quickly, the
goal is to eliminate the need to do so in the first place. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for virtual desktops
provides this capability and is highly effective at not degrading the user experience or impacting the
load of the hypervisor.

The scalability that can be achieved when anti-virus scanning is performed outside of the individual VM
dramatically reduces resource requirements in the overall environment. This McAfee product supports
more than 100,000 desktops (virtual and physical) and is continually updated, thanks to McAfee Global

. The McAfee MOVE AntiVirus virtual appliance provides the most recent signatures,
and it handles the offload processing of on-access scanning, updating each VM with the results. Memory
resource allocation for each VM decreases and can be released back to the resource pool for more
effective utilization. Regardless of a VM desktop’s previous state, the McAfee MOVE AntiVirus virtual
appliance ensures continuous protection through its active sessions.

Virtual Servers and Anti-Virus
Servers normally are configured to provide on-demand anti-virus scanning during non-business hours to
minimize disruption. When these systems are migrated into a virtual environment, scheduling of multiple
virtual servers can cause CPU spikes and interfere with other operational activities, such as patching and
backups, which sometimes are scheduled at the same time. Today, the best practice is to randomize
the scheduling of on-demand scanning, but it is not ideal and is not hypervisor aware. Being hypervisor
aware helps you understand the overall state and load of the hypervisor so you can minimize operational
scheduling conflicts that may affect efficient security processing.

Operational Flexibility with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus
McAfee MOVE AntiVirus provides McAfee VirusScan Enterprise with improved security management
specifically designed for virtualized environments. This operational flexibility and control of resources
used for security processing is lacking today. McAfee was one of the original providers of server offline
scanning and now makes VMs hypervisor aware, so that scheduled scans can be performed based on
the overall load of the hypervisor. When diverse servers are deployed within a single hypervisor, this
ensures that critical operational activities are not disrupted due to unexpected resource issues.

For today’s systems, where 24/7 performance is a must, server virtualization allows for flexible provision-
ing and migration within hypervisors to accommodate resource requirements. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus
for virtualized servers can provide offline security for servers that are not active. This ensures that they
are protected and ready to initialize immediately without the delay of virus scanning. Servers that are
continually performing due to their service-level agreements can be protected with McAfee MOVE
