Editor's Notes

  • #6 Scanning capacity can be greatly increased by using Metascan’s load balancing feature. By installing multiple scan agents pointing to the same Metascan Server, the Metascan Server will automatically balance the load between the agents. The scan agents can run on Linux as well as Windows. A Windows scan agent can for instance be used to scan with anti-malware engines that are not available on Linux. Metascan Server also supports high-availablity deployments, using Linux tools such as Heartbeat, Corosync, Pacemaker, and DRBD.
