Protecting large infrastructures

If the solution is used to protect a large infrastructure (more than 50,000 protected virtual machines), the solution components' interaction with the virtual infrastructure as information about the SVMs is sent to Light Agents can increase the load on the virtual infrastructure.

To optimize the solution's performance in large infrastructures, it is recommended to configure the solution settings as follows:

• Enable large infrastructure protection mode for the Protection Server. This mode lets you reduce the load on the virtual infrastructure.
• Use the advanced SVM selection algorithm.
• Select Integration Server as the method for Light Agents to discover SVMs.

If a Light Agent uses the advanced SVM selection algorithm and a list of SVM addresses is selected as the SVM discovery method, and large infrastructure protection mode is enabled on an SVM, then connecting a Light Agent to this SVM is only possible if the SVM path is ignored.

You can enable or disable large infrastructure protection mode when creating or changing a Protection Server policy using Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
