avast! SharePoint Server Edition (Plug-in)
avast! 4 Server Edition is the most powerful protection available to fight virus infections of your Windows-based server or servers. It works both as a classic protection of file-servers and, via its optional plug-ins - such as avast! 4 SharePoint server edition - as a protection of various subsystems running on the server, including electronic mail, firewall/proxy etc.
This plugin offers real-time scanning on the following Microsoft SharePoint server versions:
• MS SharePoint Portal Server 2001
• MS SharePoint Portal Server 2003
• Windows SharePoint Services 2003
avast! SharePoint Server Edition offers the highest quality antivirus protection available for your Microsoft SharePoint Servers. According to Microsoft, SharePoint is primarily meant as a smart replacement for traditional file servers, however, the SharePoint data is stored in a database instead of files, requiring a custom-tailored antivirus solution.
The main features of avast! SharePoint Server Edition include high-performance real-time scanning of all SharePoint content, and strong reporting capabilities. The software tightly integrates with SharePoint 2001/2003 Servers via Microsoft‘s own AV interface.
The product works as a plug-in for avast! Server Edition. Therefore, it uses the same high-performance, award-winning, ICSA-certified engine as the Server Editon itself, providing you with maximum protection.
The main module of avast! SharePoint Server Edition is the real-time scanner. Thanks to tight integration with the SharePoint technology, it provides protection at all entry points throughout the SharePoint system including browser access, Explorer access, and Microsoft Office access. Furthermore, files replicated from other Microsoft SharePoint servers are also scanned. In all cases, you can be confident that all the traffic will be properly screened and disinfected before it reaches the user. The use of well-documented interfaces exposed by the SharePoint Server itself ensures optimal reliability and user experience.
High Scalability
avast! ISA Server Edition is easily deployable and works perfectly, even on large datacenter servers and cluster servers. The scanning engine was designed with two basic goals in mind, those being, performance and stability. It‘s also able to bestow multiple CPUs, fully leveraging the potential of today‘s advanced server hardware. Furthermore, it supports scanning in memory (including the decompression of archives / packed files), resulting in unrivaled scanning speed and robustness.
Alerting & Logging
As with any server-side software, it is very important to provide an effective means of monitoring. For these purposes, avast! offers a wide range of possibilities. These include thorough notification capabilities via e-mail and avast‘s built-in Notification Manager (which supports a number of other transport protocols), rich logging features, and performance counters.
Automatic Update
The SharePoint Server Edition uses the identical updating modules as avast! Server Edition itself, resulting in unparalled speed and size of updates. The updates can be either installed automatically by the updater, or manually. It is also possible to set the system up so that the updater first asks the administrator prior to installing any updates.
