Symanec Protection Suites

Morning all,

I'm after some help with the design of a solution for the protection of SharePoint. I know that the product is licensed by the number of users but I have a couple of questions with regards to architecting that aren't answered by any of the documentation:

• Is there a limit to the number of sharepoint servers a scan engine can scan?
• Is the product only 32bit? Find this a little surprising nowadays!

Any help as always would be appreciated.

The limit depends on your license but you can be licensed for up to 'x' amount of servers to scan.

I have not seen this limitation. I know Symantec Protection for SharePoint runs on 64bit Office SharePoint Server 2013.

Brian,

I believe the license is dependent on the number of users and not the number of servers to scan? We have 7 sharepoint servers for protection, can I realisticly do this with a single scan engine?

Maybe my question wasn't asked correctly, I meant the Protection Engine is 32bit as I understand it which gives memory limitations hence the question around the number of servers to scan engines?

Thanks,

Tim
