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.
