Sophos AV protection for Cloud Servers (Linux)

geek876

Hi, We are deploying an AutoScaling WEB Infrastructure (linux based) within RackSpace Cloud and want to install some kind of AV protection on the servers. Can you recommend any offerings from Sophos that we could use ? As the setup will be auto-scaling, we won't know how many cloud servers will be active at one point in time at It will entirely depend on load but we can ensure that we won't ever exceed a set maximum number of servers. We are looking to have simple client only solution as we don't want to have and manage a separate AV server to attach the clients to. The clients can update themselves from internet directly for latest virus signatures. Ideally we will be burning in the AV client within an image and use that image to build the servers. The servers at boot could perhaps then download the latest AV signatures via internet.

    Rackspace offers Sophos AV as an option for their Managed Hosting products but for their Cloud products my understanding is that you can pretty much install whatever you want on your servers.   We have contract mechanisms that can accomodate variable 'not to exceed' use cases.   Check with your Sophos sales rep or if you call into the main number and ask to speak with someone from the OEM team.  We can help get you pointed in the right direction.   

    Regards

    Ted
