    I have a couple questions on implementing Endpoint protection:
    1. For the HIPs portion, is there any manual tuning that needs to be done?  If so, how many hours would they estimate to tune for 50 servers?  How many hours for 50 desktops?
    2. In general, how many hours would Symantec estimate that it would take to deploy to 50 servers and 50 desktop?

    Thanks

    Jeff

    About deployment on 50 Server and 50 Desktops, If you are planing to use Migration and Deployment Wizard it is by default configured to Push Package on 10 computers at one time(This can be changed). So if you select 50 computers it would do 10 at a time and then start picking up from rest.

    In case of Local Area Connection it hardly takes a minute to push the package to a computer. Once the package is pushed it takes around 5 to 10 mins to install it. In the installation process, If Symantec AntivirusV is installed on the computer it will uninstall it and then install Symantec Endpoint Protection. If Symantec Antivirus is not present then it would be a clean installation of Symantec Endpoint Protection.

    This will be same for Server and Desktops.

    Abotu the network Bandwidth, once you have the package ready you can check the size and multiply it with 10, this will be the bandwidth that will be utilized when the package is Pushed.

    Can you please explain bit more about the HIPs portion, what tuning options are you looking for?

    Thank you for the quick response. What is the estimated. number of hours to deploy application and device controls and the network IPS portion. This would be in an enviroment with less than 20 applications.

    If you are planing to install Symantec Endpoint Protection Client with all features it will include AntiVirus/Antispyware, Proactive Threat Protection and Network Threat Protection. Application and Device Control and IPS will be included in the package.

    The still remain same for the deployment. On one machine once the package is pushed it will take around 5 to 10 mins for instalation with all features as well. If you select 10 computers to be done at one time to all 10 computers should have Symantec Endpoint Protection Client installed in almost same time.
