Optimized Scanning Architecture

delay when users initiate a session. Anti-malware
isn’t the only service starting up, and users often
begin work in groups, causing peak-demand
“antivirus storms” that consume all resources
and prevent users from obtaining a session.
To eliminate scanning bottlenecks and delays,
McAfee MOVE AntiVirus offloads scanning,
configuration, and .DAT update operations
from individual guest images to a hardened
virtual appliance/offload scan server. We
build and maintain a global cache of scanned
files to ensure that once a file is scanned and
confirmed to be clean, subsequent virtual
machines (VMs) accessing that file won’t have
to wait for a scan. Memory resource allocation
for each VM decreases and can be released
back to the resource pool for more effective

Complete Visibility over the Data Center
In data centers, maintaining visibility over
the entire virtualized environment can be
a struggle for security administrators. The
McAfee Data Center Connector for VMware
vSphere provides a complete view into virtual
data centers and populates key properties like
servers, hypervisors, virtual machines, even the
cloud, into the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator®
(McAfee ePO™) console. Clients can discover
and gain visibility into all VMs, whether or not
they have deployed McAfee protections. With
this complete visibility, the task of securing the
data center becomes simplified. Administrators
can monitor hypervisor-to-VM relationships,
security status, and power status in near real-
time. A customizable, at-a-glance dashboard
displays security scan status, executive
overviews, and historical security data on
assets. With the McAfee Server Security Suite
