Total download size of Sophos Central Endpoint Advanced

Hello,
Someone knows what is the total size of the download that the installer of Sophos Central Endpoint, Intercept X and Sophos Encryption does.
I need to know this because I have to do an installation on a client with 700 computers and I do not want to have problems with the network because all the computers are downloading the installation.

Thank you so much
regards
Mariano

  • Hello,
    I tested it with a tool and according to the results, what the installer downloads are 353Mb.
    Can someone confirm this?

    On the other hand I would like to know if it is possible to configure the installer to perform the installation from an Update Cache Server?

    Thank you
    regards

  • Hi  

    The thin installer size for Windows endpoint is around 1.5 Mb. How much data it downloads while performing installation has not been calculated as it depends on a lot of factors like the OS you are running, which product components have been selected, etc.. Hence I would not be able to confirm that exact download size would be. To answer your question regarding Update Cache server, you will be able to install using the update cache server once it is setup. With the help of this article, you will be able to see devices which are taking an update from Update Cache server. You can also assign devices to take an update from the Update Cache server.

  • Hello Yashraj,
    I understand what you explain to me, but it is necessary to know how much the installer of sophos downloads. Relice the test installing Endpoint Advanced, Intercept X and Device Encryption and that is the result I got, a download of approximately 350Mb.


    If I install a Cache server, can I perform the new Endpoint installation from the Cache server? or are only updates to the cache server downloaded?


    Knowing the total amount of the installer download is very important when you have to implement more than 500 Endpoints.

    Thank you
    regards

  • Hi  

    I have previously worked with the "fat" installer from Sophos Central (which was around 25 MB in size) and it used to download around 300-400 MB of data. Going by your test, we can say that the test which you have performed is fairly accurate and if at all you have to set some restrictions for the amount of data downloaded per endpoint during the installation, then we can safely say that it would be in the range of 350-450 MB. 

    Thanks,
