Symantec AntiVirus™ for Network Attached StorageFast, scalable, and reliable virus protection for application files on network-attached
storage devices
√ The need for virus protection on network-attached storage devices
In today’s networked environments, high availability of data is critical to business success. To
enhance availability and accelerate data retrieval, many organizations centralize tremendous
volumes of data and make it available via network-attached storage systems to thousands of users
across the enterprise. But, when stored data is accessible to distributed users who can download it
to their local drives or even email it to others, the risk of spreading viruses rapidly throughout the
enterprise becomes a dangerous threat. While it is important to protect the network perimeter,
effective protection must extend to include vulnerable network-attached storage systems.
√ Fast, scalable, and reliable virus protection
Symantec AntiVirus™ for Network Attached Storage provides scalable, high-performance virus
scanning and repair services to protect valuable data stored on network-attached storage devices.
