Kaspersky Anti-Virus For Windows Servers Enterprise Edition: Highlights
Enterprise Edition
Modern corporate networks are complex systems that typically consist of terminal servers, server
clusters and other types of nodes.
Infrastructure like this demands the highest levels of protection, with file servers requiring
dedicated software that wont just protect data from the latest malware, but will also provide
uninterrupted performance under the heaviest load conditions with minimal effect on network
efficiency. Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Servers Enterprise Edition has been developed
specifically for networks like this, making it easy to protect your most valuable business
resources today and in the future.
In modern heterogeneous networks, a single virus can spread very quickly as it is virtually
impossible to isolate a newly detected network infection immediately. Corporate users often
place various files into file storages, thus exposing all nodes on the corporate network to risk,
from workstations to shared file storage facilities.
