Endpoint Protection

hello, would you just give me some comments please ?

my company has bought SEP 11 RU5 and wants to deploy and centrally manage SEP clients and here is the senario

 

1.       the company has three enviroments

·         Head office LAN with around 1200 users. 

·          50 branch offices with average of 25 pcs connected with 256kbps to the central office

·         50 branches with average of 16 pcs are offline ( not connected to the central office)

 

here is my big questions again

what method should I use to push client installation package for all branch offices if I've to save WAN speed, I mean shall I go to each site and install unmanaged client and again change to managed from SEPM  ?

what is the minimum bandwidth needed for GUP to replicate with the SEPM and what is the amount of content to be replicated each day

what is SEP 11.0 RU 5 functionality on LINUX and UBUNTU ? 

if the no. of clients are 2000, is embeded database enough or shall I go MS-SQL ?



 

 

 

 

Hi,

For deploying the clients, please follow the instructions:

1. Export installation packages from SEPM.
2. Copy the install package along with clientremote.exe [ from CD2 ] to each site server.
3. Take an RDP of the server at a site. Use the clientremote.exe, and use the package to be deployed to the clients in that site. So that the deployment will be local to that site and will niot affect your WAN bandwidth.

You can control the bandwidth used by GUP in RU5. So, you can always tune the performance of GUP based on your requirement. GUP will provide delta definitions as well as full set of definitions ( if needed ). Hence, 256 KBPS line to the central office should suffice when using GUP. However, you should control the network traffic of clients from the remote sites by putting the configuration mode as Pull mode. Set the heartbeat interval in suich a way that 2 groups will not contact SEPM at the same time.

SEP is not yet supported on Linux OS.

Embedded database supports 5000 clients in SEPM. So, I think it should suffice. However, please make sure that you take time to time backups of the important files as well as the database. Refer to the Disaster Recovery document for determining which files need to be backed on a regular basis.

Tips For Installing SEP In A Low Bandwidth Environment 

Every time update about 70-100KB

The GUP can support up to 10000 clients but , you must consult the performance of hardware.
