McAfee MOVE Multi-Platform Install and config steps

While working on McAfee MOVE Anti-Virus solution for virtual desktop solution, I come across this nice video published by McAfee with step by step instructions to install and configure McAfee MOVE Multi-Platform solution.

Just to summarise what is McAfee MOVE Multi- Platform solution, it eliminates requirement to install McAfee anti-virus application instead you need to install agent. Multi-Platform solution offloads scanning function to a dedicated server i.e. offload scan server (OSS) that runs McAfee VirusScan Enterprise software.

Components of the McAfee MOVE multi-Platform solutions are:

-          MacAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO Server)

-          Hypervisor (ESXi or Hyper-V or XenServer)

-          McAfee Agent

-          MOVE AV Offload Scan Server (OSS)

-          VirusScan Enterprise ( Installed as part of the OSS server)

-          MOVE Security Virtual Appliance( SVA)

-          Data Center Connector for vSphere- Optional

For more details on difference between MacAfee MOVE Agentless and Multi-Platform, refer “McAfee MOVE Agentless vs Multi-Platform “
