Dr.Web Enterprise Suite has a client-server structure. The clients are installed on the protected workstations and the servers. Dr.Web Enterprise Suite server provides centralized administration of the anti-virus&anti-spam protection, including initial deployment, update of the virus databases and upgrade of the program modules of the anti-virus components, monitoring of the current state of the anti-virus protection, notification on viral incidents, and collection of statistics.
The installation of the anti-virus server and the deployment of the anti-virus network based on Dr.Web Enterprise Suite are easy and take a few minutes. The advantages of the Active Directory technology utilized in Windows-based servers can be used for the network deployment.
The connection between the anti-virus server and the agents is provided by TCP/IP and IPX/SPX/NetBIOS protocols and doesn't require the change of the original network structure.
The anti-virus network operation based on Dr.Web Enterprise is highly transparent. The logs are kept for all the components of the network and their details can be easily tuned. Any operations with files made by the anti-virus network’s components are reflected in statistics.
Administrator is notified about the network’s health issues, which are reported either to the administrator' console or e-mailed.
Dr.Web Enterprise Suite Console
Dr.Web Enterprise Suite console is a visual configuration and management tool in a single, unified graphical interface, available anywhere in the world and anytime to help you manage thousands of protected clients in geographically dispersed environment. It can be installed on any type of PC based on almost any operation system. Extremely intuitive but versatile interface provides a hierarchical “at-a-glance” view of your protected network allowing monitoring the network health on an ongoing basis.
Dr.Web Enterprise Suite console helps administrators easily manage highly dynamic and complex environment, increase productivity while reducing administrator time and costs, automate tasks, perform daily routines in just minutes, without any extensive time commitments - view and set up key parameters of anti-virus servers and protected clients, reconfigure anti-virus settings and run tasks on separate clients. Scanning’s scheduling and virus definitions database updates with Dr.Web Enterprise Suite console have never been easier.
Dr.Web Enterprise Suite (ES) Console allows to set up any component of the anti-virus network component and to monitor the anti-virus agents. The schedule for the anti-virus server or the group of anti-virus agents can be specified by the administrator from the single entry point. Statistics graphs and other reporting tools provide for an immediate visibility of the current anti-virus protection state as well as allow viewing and analyzing your log files via centralized administration environment and making changes in just seconds to respond to emerging threats rapidly. The ES console allows you to access a Linux-based ES Server from the Windows-based console and set it up.
Powerful Dr.Web Enterprise Suite anti-virus server
The anti-virus server is installed on one of the computers of the local network. The anti-virus server stores distribution kits of anti-virus packages for different operating systems of protected computers, the updates of the virus bases, of the anti-virus packages and anti-virus agents, users' keys and settings of packages of the protected computers and sends them by requests of correspondent agents.
A platform-independent architecture of the server software allows utilizing both Windows and UNIX-based machines as servers - a feature unavailable in other anti-virus programs.
The updating task of anti-virus agents, including updating of the virus databases is totally managed by the Dr.Web Enterprise Suite Server; this allows substantial saving on bandwidth and does not require manually updating.
The anti-virus server keeps one log of events of the whole anti-virus network and separate logs for each protected computer and other useful data, making use of both Dr.Web Enterprise Server databases - the inbuilt and the external one. The storage of anti-virus server data in one database and the option of the backup copy of the server critical data helps easily restore the anti-virus server or reinstall it to another computer in case its database was damaged.
Invisible operation of Dr.Web Enterprise Suite anti-virus agents
The anti-virus agents are installed on protected computers of the local network, the server including. The agents send information on the virus events and other necessary information about the protected computers to the anti-virus server.
Powerful Dr.Web anti-virus agents' software comprises such components as scanner, the SpIDer Guard file monitor, including SpIDer Guard for Windows-based servers and the SpIDer Mail filter. And additional advantages. For instance, Dr.Web Enterprise Scanner was specially designed for Dr.Web Enterprise Suite allowing to “silently” scan the computers of the protected network in the remote mode with no degrade in performance.
Mobile users haven't been forgotten either. Even if the traveling laptop is disconnected from the anti-virus network for some time, the anti-virus correctly operates in the laptop and it receives regular updates.
System requirements
To install Dr.Web Enterprise Suite (ES) you should have:
• Local network based upon the IP, IPX or NetBIOS protocols (all protected computers and the anti-virus server should be included into this network);
• A computer with processor Pentium III-667 or higher, operating memory 128 MB or higher (256 MB, if using the inbuilt database), free space on the hard drive 1 GB (20 MB for executable files, the rest - for logs and the built-in database), Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/2008, Linux, Free BSD (up to 7.0), Solaris (x86 и Sparc) operating systems - for 32- and 64-bit systems.
• To automatically receive the content of the centralized installation directory and the updates from the updating server an access to the servers of the Dr.Web global updating system through the Internet should be established for the anti-virus server
• A computer operated by Windows, or a computer with Sun JRE version 5.0 Update 1 or higher (requirements to the Os and the computer are determined in this case by the JRE requirements).
• TCP/IP protocol connection between the console and the server.
• The anti-virus agent and the anti-virus package require a computer with processor Pentium II-400 or higher, operating memory 32 MB or higher, free space on the hard drive 128 Mb or higher (8 MB for executable files, the rest - for logs), Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista.
