Planning and Implementing the Control Manager Deployment
• Update component information – updates that the product supports (for example,
virus pattern files)
• Command information
By default, Control Manager servers contain all the product profiles that were available
when the managed products released. However, when a new version of a product
registers with Control Manager, the new product uploads its new product profile to the
Control Manager server.
Policy Deployment
Control Manager generates network traffic when deploying policy settings to managed
products and endpoints. The traffic originates from the following sources:
• Periodic policy enforcement
Control Manager enforces the policy settings on managed products and endpoints
every 60 minutes.
• Deployed information
A policy contains the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) information for each
endpoint and the setting information. A policy containing 50,000 targets and a full
set of settings can generate up to 1.8MB of network traffic.
Deploying Updates
Updating a Control Manager network is a two-step process:
1. Obtain the latest update components from Trend Micro.
Control Manager can download components either directly from the Trend Micro
update server, or from an alternative location.
2. Deploy these components to the managed products.
