PCI standards require A/V on servers that process transactions... it's more and more likely those servers are running a *nix variant.

Otherwise, a samba server then sure... otherwise???

Side 2 - Have it deployed and are using it .


Just wondering if you;

1. Have it? or feel it is warranted?
2. What product are you using ?
3. Would you recommend the solution you are using?
4. Any performance impact ?




Thank you.
