The threat of viruses and other lethal malware remains

a constant concern for many IT organizations. These

threats can spread throughout an organization at terrifying

speeds capitalizing on the interoperability of modern

networks. It only takes a single infected ﬁle placed into the

storage environment to risk exposing every node on the

network. Dell and Kaspersky Lab are addressing this threat

by certifying the Dell™ Fluid File System (FluidFS) on the

FS8600 platform with Kaspersky Security for Storage.

Dell FluidFS storage oerings are open-standards-based,

scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) solutions that

meet the capacity, performance, reliability, ﬂexibility and

scalability requirements of modern data centers. Dell

FluidFS Storage is connected to a backend SC Series array

providing a uniﬁed block and ﬁle storage oering. This is all

centrally managed using the Enterprise Manager console.

FluidFS on FS8600 provides integrated antivirus

functionality that allows administrators to manage behavior

from the Enterprise Manager interface such as ﬁle or

directory paths to exclude from scanning or even exclude

ﬁles by size. This can also be done from the Kaspersky

Security for Storage console.

Together, FluidFS and Kaspersky Security for Storage helps

protect organizations data from the spread of harmful

malware and malicious virus code.
