Endpoint Protection

Hi

I have a SEPM 12.1.4xxxx with approx 10 clients at site A and 10 clients on site B. The sites are interconnected via a 4mb WAN link. There is a Windows Server at site B. The Windows clients on site B aren't joined to the domain.

To minimise traffic between sites whats the best way to configure the update topology?

Would setting up a GUP on the server in site B be the most effective way to miminise traffic as well as minimise administrative overhead?

If I install a GUP at site B do clients ever need to talk to the SEPM? How much data would be transferred from the clients at Site B and the SEPM?

And lastly, how much data is transferred regularly between the SEPM or GUP and the clients? Delta update changes or full updates?

Many thanks

You can configure GUP.

Delta updates..

When will a client download a full definition set from a Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager or Group Update Provider?

With default LiveUpdate content revision settings configured within the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, clients are downloading full definition updates instead of delta updates

It will move the delta defintion on GUP Server on daily bases. All of the B site clients connect on there for definition.

For the policies and chnages all client will connect to SEPM.

Since you have only 10 clients in each site, Two different independent SEPMs would do the job...

Promote the server at site B to be GUP

The GUP proxies only the definitions.

Yes, clients need to talk to the SEPM. Ideally few MB's, depending on your clients logging settings (the more events you set them to log, the more data they will send to the SEPM).

And lastly, how much data is transferred regularly between the SEPM or GUP and the clients? Delta update changes or full updates?
