AVG File Server Business Edition is a specialized server security solution designed to protect file servers in business environments. It safeguards corporate file shares, prevents malware and ransomware threats from compromising server data, and maintains performance of Windows servers while delivering centralized management and remote control.
With features such as remote installation, automated updates, and single‑location control across multiple servers, it helps IT administrators to manage protection across their infrastructure efficiently. Designed specifically for Windows Server platforms, this edition ensures your file servers remain available, secure, and optimized for business continuity.
Pros:
- Dedicated protection for file servers, helping prevent threats from compromising server‑data.
- Remote management from a single location, enabling installation, updates and configuration across your servers.
- Automatic updates of virus definitions and protection engine, reducing manual intervention.
- Light footprint on server performance with optimized scanning technologies.
- Supports 64‑bit Windows Server platforms and includes features appropriate for business usage.
Cons:
- Supports primarily Windows Server (64‑bit) environments; limited or no support for non‑Windows server platforms.
- Focus is on server file protection, not a full endpoint/desktop security suite with detailed layers (may require complementary solutions).
- Advanced server‑management features may require IT skill to deploy and maintain effectively.
- Some older server hardware may still experience limitations despite protection, e.g., very legacy systems.
