The logical structure of the anti-virus network

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite anti-virus network has a client-server architecture. Its components are installed on a computers and mobile devices of users and administrators as well as on a computers that function as LAN servers. Anti-virus network components exchange information via TCP/IP network protocols. Anti-virus software can be installed (and manage them afterwards) on protected stations either via the LAN, or via the Internet.

Central Protection Server

Central protection Server is installed on a computer of anti-virus network, and installation can be performed on any computer, not only on that functioning as a LAN server. General requirements to this computer are given in the System Requirements section.

Cross-platform Server software allows to use a computer under the following operating systems as a Server:

Windows® OS,

UNIX® system-based OS (Linux®, FreeBSD®, Solaris™).

Central protection Server stores distribution kits of anti-virus packages for different OS of protected computers, updates of virus databases and anti-virus packages, license keys and package settings of protected computers. Server receives updates of anti-virus protection components and virus databases via the Internet from the Global Update System and propagate updates on protected stations.

Hierarchical structure of several Servers can be established to serve protected stations of anti-virus network.

Server supports the backup of critical data (databases, configuration files, etc.).

Server writes single log of anti-virus network events.

Single Database

The single database is connected to the central protection Server and stores statistic data on anti-virus network events, settings of the Server itself, parameters of protected stations and anti-virus components, installed on protected stations.

You can use the following types of databases:

Embedded database. Two variants of database that is inbuilt into the central protection Server directly are provided:

SQLite2 (InitDB),

SQLite3.

External database. Inbuilt drivers for connecting the following databases are provided:

Oracle,

PostgreSQL,

ODBC driver to connect other databases such as Microsoft SQL Server/Microsoft SQL Server Express.

You can use any database that corresponds to your demands. Your choice should be based on the needs that must be satisfied by the data store, such as: capability to service the anti-virus network of corresponding size, features of database software maintenance, administration capabilities provided by the database itself and also requirements and standards which are accepted for use in your company.
