Requirements and Architecture
This section details hardware and software requirements and architecture design recommendations for Dell Security
Management Server implementation.
Security Management Server Architecture Design
Encryption Enterprise and Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise solutions are highly scalable products, based on the number of
endpoints targeted for encryption in your organization.
Architecture Components
Below are suggested hardware configurations that suit most environments.
