About the RPC Network Storage Protection
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on a server under Microsoft Windows protects RPC network storages (such as NetApp network attached storages) against viruses and other computer security threats that infiltrate the server through the exchange of files.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans files located in network share folders in the RPC network storage (hereinafter also network attached storage) when an attempt is made to read or modify the files from a workstation. The network attached storage allows reading or modifying a file if Kaspersky Security for Windows Server has identified that file as safe. If Kaspersky Security for Windows Server has identified a file as infected or probably infected, the network attached storage performs the action according to the configured settings (e.g., blocks that file from being read or modified).
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server allows you to configure the actions that the application will perform on infected and probably infected files.
By default, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server performs the following operations:
- Disinfects infected files.
- Deletes infected files if disinfection fails.
- Moves probably infected files to Quarantine.
- Moves a copy of an infected file to Backup before disinfecting or removing this file.
You can protect one network attached storage or several network attached storages using one server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on it. To improve the performance of the network attached storage and the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, you can use several servers with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server for protection of a single network attached storage. In this case, the network attached storage distributes the workload among associated servers on which Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is installed.
To ensure real-time protection of a network attached storage, add it to Kaspersky Security for Windows Server as part of the protection scope and then configure a connection between the network attached storage and the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on it. Kaspersky Security for Windows Server provides an RPC network storage protection with task called RPC Network Storage Protection.
The RPC Network Storage Protection task is created by default; it is a local system task of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server. You cannot delete or rename this task. You cannot create custom tasks for RPC Network Storage Protection.
You can configure the RPC Network Storage Protection task. Settings configured in the RPC Network Storage Protection task properties are applied to all protection scopes that are added to the task. You can also configure the security settings for each protection scope.
You can run Network Attached Storage Protection tasks if the active key supports network attached storage protection. If you run a Network Attached Storage Protection task when the active key does not support network attached storage protection, the task returns an error. In this case, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not protect network attached storages.
The RPC Network Storage Protection component is available within Kaspersky Security for Windows Server for Network Attached Storages.
