Description
One additional Endpoint Security Management Server for High
Availability. This makes sure that a backup server is available if
the primary server is down.
Endpoint Policy Servers improve performance in large
environments by managing most communication with the
Endpoint Security clients.
Managing the Endpoint Security client communication
decreases the load on the Endpoint Security Management
Server, and reduces the bandwidth required between sites.
The Endpoint Policy Server handles heartbeat and
synchronization requests, Policy downloads, Anti-Malware
updates, and Endpoint Security client logs.
