Multiple IM Security servers can share the same configurations by using Trend Micro Control Manager (TMCM).

Control Manager 6.0 SP1 permits administrators to configure and deploy Data Loss Prevention policies (rules) directly to IM Security servers from the Control Manager web console.

Administrators can also use Control Manager to synchronize virus pattern file and other downloads (Control Manager contacts Trend Micro through the Internet; Control Manager then distributes the updates to the various instances of IM Security through the Intranet).

Unless included as part of a Control Manager domain, each instance of IM Security on the network updates its own virus pattern file and other updates.
