McAfee Move antivirus

McAfee Management for Optimized Virtual Environments (MOVE) AntiVirus for virtual desktops and servers is uniquely designed to relieve the overhead of traditional endpoint security, yet provide the protection and performance essential for success.

Traditional anti-virus software has proven to be very resource intensive for virtual environments. Multiple virtual machines could perform anti-virus scanning at the same time, bringing the host machine to a crawl. Widely called anti-virus storms, they disrupt the business continuity of your mission-critical applications. Secure virtualization technologies tied to a specific hypervisor creates virtual environment silos and increases IT administrative overhead. Anti-virus scanning ignores the load on the hypervisor, compromising application performance when it’s needed the most. Traditional anti-virus software has a relatively large footprint, consuming precious shared resources. Signature files are not updated in offline virtual machines, leaving them vulnerable when they’re brought back online.

Whether you are deploying virtual desktops or well underway with server virtualization within your data center, McAfee MOVE AntiVirus provides optimized protection that specifically addresses the common problems encountered in virtualized environments with traditional anti-virus solutions.

MOVE AntiVirus offers malware protection and security without compromising performance, so you get the most from your virtual environment while actively protecting your business data.

MOVE AntiVirus addresses these challenges by:

Optimizing security for virtualized environments — By optimizing and offloading McAfee VirusScan Enterprise’s processing features, MOVE AntiVirus enables you to obtain higher operational returns, and minimizes the performance impact on virtual servers with enhanced scan avoidance and scanning based on overall load of the hypervisor.

Standardizing security across all major hypervisors — Whether you are starting to deploy virtual machines or well on your way with cloud computing, MOVE AntiVirus offers the flexibility of consistent security across all major hypervisors.

Ensuring best security management and delivery for virtualized environments — Utilize and optimize your current McAfee VirusScan Enterprise protection in virtualized environments, providing security management and effectiveness with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) console. Ensure that security policies remain intact, even as virtual machines migrate within the virtualized environment.


McAfee Move Benefits
