Hello all,

In terms of the Symantec Scan engine for NAS, I would like to know that if 'files are passed to the scanner from the filer', how does this not impact the network. I imagine a filer with quite alot of files would obviously decrease bandwidth if it need to be copied to the engine>scanned>then copied back to filer. Unless I am wrong in the mechanism, can someone please enlighten me on how this works?

I have read the documentation, and I do understand that files are cached to prevent redundant scan operations but at the same time, if a file is large I can only suspect that this would have performance impact for the end user when accessing the files, since the file will most likely be locked as well for scanning.

TIA
