McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for Virtual Servers - Perpetual License, 101-500 OS Instances, 1 Year Perpetual License with 1 Year McAfee Gold Software Support.

Sep 14, 2005  Occasionally we hear reports of customer seeing bad interactions between Virtual PC / Virtual Server and antivirus programs on their host.

Secure virtual environments without impacting performance. Implementing virtualization solutions is challenging enough without security and compliance hindering.

Sophos Antivirus for vShield outperforms not only traditional endpoint antivirus, but also competing virtualization security tools. In a head to head test, our efficient scanning engine and advanced clean-file caching produced 90 less impact on file server write throughput when compared with Trend Micro Deep Security and McAfee MOVE Agentless.

By taking full advantage of VMware s vShield Endpoint technology, Sophos Antivirus for vShield also eliminates scan storms and update storms spikes in resource use caused by concurrent scans and updates.

Antivirus scans are notorious for ruining virtual environment performance. Here are some ways to avoid that problem without forgoing antivirus scans altogether.

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization

Nov 01, 2008  Running Antivirus Software on Virtual Server. Updated: November 1, 2008. Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007.

File-level anti-malware

Kaspersky s award-winning anti-malware engine provides automatic, real-time protection for every virtual machine – on-access and on-demand.

Cloud-assisted security

The cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network KSN can identify new threats in as little as 0.02 seconds.

Network protection

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization includes special technologies to protect your virtual machines from network threats.

Shared Cache

For typical environments, many files may be duplicated across multiple virtual machines. Whereas some security products will scan every instance of a file, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization includes a Shared Cache feature that means each file is scanned only once – and the verdict of the scan is stored, in order to eliminate the need to scan the same file on other virtual machines running on the same virtual host.

Central management console

Kaspersky Security Center gives administrators a single-pane-of-glass view of all devices that are being protected by Kaspersky technologies – including virtual, physical and mobile devices.

Flexible security and management tools

Different security settings can easily be applied to different groups of virtual machines. For example, you may choose to exclude scanning functions if they are not relevant to a particular application – so computing performance is not affected by unnecessary processes.

Security that s specifically developed for virtualized infrastructure

Because Kaspersky Security for Virtualization has been developed specifically for virtual machine security, it helps businesses to maintain high virtualization density and high performance – for improved return on investment.

Virtual machine security that places less load on your computing resources

Instead of having to install a full security agent on every virtual machine, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization offers a more efficient way to protect your virtualized environments – so you place less load on your processors, memory, storage and I/O:

Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xen and VMware environments can be secured by a single virtual appliance on each virtual host and only very small agents installed on each virtual machine

Alternatively, VMware environments can also be secured by an agentless security solution – so just one instance of the security software protects every virtual machine that s running on a virtual host

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization is ideal for data centres that are running a combination of different hypervisors.

Award-winning anti-malware delivers superior security for your systems

Kaspersky Lab s latest anti-malware engine combines signature-based, proactive and cloud-assisted technologies, to deliver superior detection rates – including protection against zero-day threats.

Additional layers of security protect you from network threats

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization provides network-level protection for virtual traffic and includes powerful remediation capabilities to disinfect malware infections.

Easy-to-use, central management console saves time for your IT team

A single, unified administration console lets your IT team centrally manage the security of all your virtual machines – plus other Kaspersky security applications you re running on physical infrastructure and mobile devices. By making it easier for your team to manage hybrid environments – that combine virtual, physical and mobile platforms – Kaspersky helps you to roll out virtualization projects at the pace that suits your business.

Flexible licensing helps you control costs

Because Kaspersky gives you a choice of per machine – including per desktop and per server – or per core licensing options, you can choose the most cost-effective licensing model for your business or large-scale data centre.
