The Environment

FHEC had 4 servers and approximately 53 machines all running windows operating system (win7/win10, 32bit/64bit). Email solution is running on Office 365(cloud). Required an antivirus solution where they can pull updates in one server and distribute it to all the clients instead of each client updating on its own via internet.

Business Challenges

Old AV solution can’t pull updates in one server and distribute it to all the clients
Management of AV environment was time consuming exercise
Speed of PC was getting slower resulting in poor productivity
Requirement of modern and future proof AV solution to support growth

The Solution

   NK2IT suggested SEP (Symantec Endpoint Protection) version 14
    SEP 14 runs on desktops as well as servers without OS limitations
    Ease of manageability as administrator can manage all the endpoints via single console

    Smooth installation of all AV licenses on required PCs and Servers
    Speed for PCs & Servers have been significantly improved along with network equipment
    Management becomes simple and less time consuming
