Antivirus for several O.S.
Created: 07 Nov 2012 | Updated: 07 Nov 2012 | 7 comments
Good morning,
I'm developing a solutio to provide & manage virtual instances for several O.S.:
Windows Server 2003, 2008 and newer,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, 6 or newer,
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 or newer,
Debian Linux Stable (currently Lenny),
Ubuntu Linux Server 10.04 LTS and newer,
Scientific Linux 5, 6 and newer (I can cover partially this requirement),
FreeBSD 8 and newer. Other OS may
My question is: Can I cover my standard antivirus requirement with only Symantec or I need to solution a mixed approach with other vendors?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Luca

Don't forget to mark your thread as 'SOLVED' with the answer that best helps you.<&a
Many thanks for your support.
My need is to deploy Sep agent in (all O.S. version listed in the thread) but I'm understanding that the only platform supported for SEP is Windows environment and I'm in difficult to adopt an unique Antivirus vendor solution.

That is correct. SEP won't run on Linux, so you will need to use SAV for Linux for *nix OS.

Hi,
to be more precise, you can use SEP 12.1 for Mac and Windows, you need SAV for Linux (still from Symantec) for the rest but they won't be managed by the SEP Manager.

This article provides steps and a few illustrations for how SAV for Linux (which comes on the SEP DVD) can be installed.
With thanks and best regards,

Cold comfort I know but according to http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH102587:
SAV for Linux can be integrated to SEPM for reportingpurposes only as per http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=DOC3474.
The real draw back is that the SAV for Linux product is also much harder to manage due to the lack of a central management console. Whilst specific endpoint management could be fine for small environments it could be seen to become cumbersome for large environments, especially if thos environments were quite dynamic See http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH102587 for the specifics in managing the client.
