Preparing a Multiple Site Network

Procedure

1. Identify the endpoint on which to install the Trend Micro Apex One server.
2. Identify the available agent installation methods and eliminate methods that do not fit the requirement. See the Administrator's Guide for more information on the agent installation methods.
   Possible installation methods:

   • Login Script Setup
     Login Script Setup works well if there is no WAN in place because local traffic does not matter. However, given that more than 50MB of data transmits to each endpoint, this option is not viable.
   • Remote installation from the web console
     This method is valid for all the LAN-connected endpoints at the head office. Because these endpoints all run Windows Server 2012, it is simple to deploy the package to the endpoints.
     Due to the low link speed between the two remote sites, this deployment method may impact available bandwidth if Trend Micro Apex One deployment occurs during business hours. Use the whole link capacity to deploy Trend Micro Apex One during non-business hours when most people are no longer at work. However, if users turn off their endpoints, Trend Micro Apex One deployment to these endpoints is not successful.
   • Security Agent package deployment
     Security Agent package deployment seems to be the best option for remote site deployment. However, at Remote Site 2, there is no local server to facilitate this option properly. Looking at all options in-depth, this option provides the best coverage for most endpoints.
