8.5. Peculiarities of a Network with Several Dr.Web Enterprise Servers |
Dr.Web ESS allows to build an anti-virus network with several Enterprise Servers. In such networks each workstation is ascribed to one Server, which allows to distribute the load between them. The connections between the Servers can have a hierarchical structure, which allows to optimally distribute the load between the Servers.
To exchange information between the Servers (software updates and information about the operation of the Servers and the workstations connected to them) a special interserver synchronization protocol is used. The most significant feature of this protocol is the efficient transfer of updates: ◆the updates are distributed as soon as received, ◆the scheduling of updates on Servers becomes unnecessary (except for those Servers which receive updates from the Dr.Web GUS servers via HTTP). |
