01
Plan server protection separately from desktops
A scan or restart on a file server can affect many users. First inventory server roles, operating-system versions, storage and application dependencies. ESET file-server products and mail-server security address different requirements; select a product by server role instead of applying one agent everywhere.
02
Threat visibility on file servers
ESET server security provides real-time protection for business data passing through supported file servers. Plan scanning tasks and management connectivity during deployment. Acceptance checks include current and active agents, console visibility and alert delivery to the right recipients.
- ✓Server-role and product suitability review
- ✓Scan scheduling and resource-use assessment
- ✓Central visibility and notification checks
03
ERP, database and virtualization workloads
Review application-vendor guidance for security agents and exclusions. Evaluate database files, virtual-machine storage and backup jobs by workload. Keep exclusions justified and limited. A pilot checks access, application responsiveness and resource consumption; prepare rollback steps before maintenance begins.
04
Backup and recovery for business continuity
Server protection belongs within a patching and independent-backup plan. Check recoverable backup status before deployment and notify teams if a restart is needed. Our Acronis server-backup service remains available. Review ESET and existing agents' responsibilities, compatibility and coexistence requirements before rollout.
