You
can install the integrated or standalone Smart Protection Server
if the number of agents is
1,000 or less. Install a standalone Smart Protection Server if there
are more than 1,000 agents.
Trend Micro recommends
installing several Smart Protection Servers for failover purposes. Agents that are
unable to connect to a particular server will try to connect to
the other servers you have set up.
Because the integrated server and the Trend Micro Apex One server run on the same endpoint, the endpoint’s performance may reduce
significantly during peak traffic for the two servers. Consider using a standalone
Smart
Protection Server as the primary smart protection source for agents and the
integrated server as a backup.
