Preparing a Multiple Site Network
Procedure
- Identify the endpoint on which to install the Trend Micro Apex One server.
- Identify the available agent installation methods and eliminate methods that
do not fit the requirement. See the Administrator's
Guide for more information on the agent
installation methods.
Possible installation methods:
-
Login Script Setup works well if there is no WAN in place because local traffic does
not matter. However, given that more than 50MB of data transmits to
each endpoint, this option is not viable.
-
Remote installation from
the web console
This method is valid for all the LAN-connected endpoints at the head office. Because
these endpoints all run Windows Server 2012, it is simple to deploy
the package to the endpoints.
Due to the low link speed between the two remote sites, this deployment method may
impact available bandwidth if Trend Micro Apex One
deployment occurs during business hours. Use the whole link capacity
to deploy Trend Micro Apex One during non-business hours when most
people are no longer at work. However, if users turn off their
endpoints, Trend Micro Apex One deployment to these endpoints is not
successful.
-
Security Agent package
deployment
Security Agent package deployment seems
to be the best option for remote site deployment. However, at Remote
Site 2, there is no local server to facilitate this option properly.
Looking at all options in-depth, this option provides the best
coverage for most endpoints.
