Marketing description

In modern heterogeneous networks, a single virus can spread very quickly as it is virtually impossible to isolate a newly detected network infection immediately. Corporate users often place various files into file storages, thus exposing all nodes on the corporate network to risk, from workstations to shared file storage facilities.
Kaspersky Lab has developed Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Storage - a dedicated solution to protect EMC Celerra storage systems that is based on a uniform set of world-class anti-malware and other core technologies. The application is fully compatible with all network storage products from the EMC Celerra family and provides an unprecedentedly high level of IT security. All data is scanned on-the-fly as it is being written to storage or while it is being modified, ensuring reliable detection and removal of all types of malware from files and archives stored on EMC Celerra storage products.

Product features

• Always-on antivirus protection and on-demand scanning
  The product scans every file that is launched or modified, treats or deletes any suspicious objects, and/or quarantines them for further analysis.
• Proactive protection from malware
  The antivirus engine incorporates advanced anti-malware protection methods such as an heuristic analyzer capable of identifying malicious programs with a very high degree of accuracy.
• Backup copying
  Any suspicious objects that are detected are placed into quarantine. If the product performs any actions on an infected object, an unmodified copy is first placed into backup storage.
• Flexible scan settings
  The file scan settings enable the administrator to: exempt certain processes from scanning; set the depth of antivirus protection; specify which file types must always be scanned and which should be exempted completely, etc. This approach helps optimize the server load and ensures the flexible management of corporate network security.
• Selection of trusted processes
  The administrator can exempt secure processes such as data backups from scanning if their performance is affected by the scanning process.
• Support of Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM)
  The product is compatible with disk storage management systems (Hierarchical Storage Management) and provides effective antivirus protection for file systems with complex hierarchies.
