One of the core advantages of NVCNet is that it avoids the problems associated with unpredictable server memory and CPU usage. The solution also provides high availability virus scanning through enhanced load balancing and failover functionalities.  

- More than 1200 new viruses every day leaves business servers with an unpredictable environment.  NVCNet for terminal servers is not just a security solution, it guarantees predictability and stability in the working process. With NVCNet there will be no problems with unstable capacity peaks, latency or disruption of working processes, says VP marketing and business development Audun Lødemel at Norman ASA.

Key features of NVCNet for Terminal Servers:

Predictable use of CPU resources

An effective antivirus solution requires high capacity and tends to steal much CPU. This may result in unstable use of CPU resources, something that can interrupt normal workflow on all terminals and create delay in ongoing working processes. NVCNet for terminal servers is designed to protect server systems from malware and to provide a stable and predictable use of CPU capacity.

Load balancing

NVCNet offers load balancing by connecting several NVCNet servers in parallel. By doing this more flexibility is added to the system by letting the next NVCNet server take over if the first server should be exposed to heavy load or extra maintenance.

Norman SandBox

Norman’s world leading proactive antivirus technology, Norman SandBox, is integrated in the solution and provides maximum security against viruses and other forms of malicious code.

Quick return on investments and low total cost of ownership

The NVCNet is an easy to deploy application that reduces the need for installing additional hardware and software components in order to increase user information availability.
