How McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Storage works
You can deploy this high-performance scanning solution on one or more Windows server with
multi-filer and multi-scanner configuration.
VirusScan Enterprise for Storage supports two types of filers.
• NetApp filers — Filers that work on RPC–based protocols.
• ICAP — Filers that work on ICAP–based protocols.
VirusScan Enterprise for Storage scans files in real time when they are accessed, stored, or modified
on storage devices. For the ICAP protocol, the filer decides the appropriate action for infected files. For
filers such as NetApp filers that work on RPC–based protocols, the McAfee Anti-Virus Engine takes
appropriate actions.
For the list of supported filer vendors, see McAfee KnowledgeBase article KB74863.
