Planning and Implementing the Control Manager Deployment
Identifying Deployment Architecture and
Strategy
Deployment is the process of strategically distributing Control Manager servers in your
network environment to facilitate and provide optimal management of antivirus and
content security products.
Deploying enterprise-wide, client-server software like Control Manager to a network
requires careful planning and assessment.
For ease of planning, Trend Micro recommends two deployment architectures:
• Single-site deployment: Refers to distributing and managing child servers,
managed products, and endpoints from a single Control Manager located in a
central office. If your organization has several offices but has fast and reliable local
and wide area network connections between sites, single-site deployment still
applies to your environment.
• Multiple-site deployment: Refers to distributing and managing Control Manager
servers in an organization that has main offices in different geographical locations.
Tip
If you are using Control Manager for the first time, Trend Micro recommends the use of a
Control Manager Advanced parent server to handle single-site and multiple-site
deployments.
