Tip
  • For Trend Micro Apex Central managing more than 1,000 products (including Apex One Security Agents and ServerProtect Normal servers), Trend Micro recommends using a dedicated SQL server.
  • If Trend Micro Apex Central and the SQL server are installed on different computers, set the same time zone on both computers.
  • Trend Micro highly recommends using Microsoft SQL Server Standard or Enterprise Edition. SQL Express is suitable for testing purposes but not for production environments.
