About update centers

Any Microsoft Exchange server with Kaspersky Security installed can be designated as an update center. Update centers receive updated databases from Kaspersky servers and can serve as sources of updates for application databases of other Microsoft Exchange servers with the application installed.

Update centers can be useful in the following cases:

• If your company has several Microsoft Exchange servers with the application installed, you can designate one of the Microsoft Exchange servers as an update center that receives databases from Kaspersky servers and set it as an update source for other Microsoft Exchange servers of the company. This reduces the amount of Internet traffic, maintains databases on all Microsoft Exchange servers in an identical state, and eliminates the need to configure the Internet connection for each Microsoft Exchange server and monitor the security of such connections.
• If the corporate network has geographically distributed server segments with slow data links, you can create a dedicated update center for each regional segment to receive database updates from Kaspersky servers. This reduces the amount of network traffic between regional segments and speeds up the distribution of updates to all servers on the corporate network.
