Requirements

This document provides an in-depth overview of the Netwrix Endpoint Protector solution, designed for large-scale deployments exceeding 5,000 endpoints. It addresses the solution scalability (back-end, administration server, etc.) and not the specific endpoints it protects or the policies and settings it can enforce.

Endpoint Protector's different modules—Device Control, Content Aware Protection, eDiscovery, and Enforced Encryption—apply policies at the endpoint level. The number of endpoints, their geographical distribution, and network bandwidth impact the Endpoint Protector system requirements and must be addressed during planning.

Deployed as a Virtual Appliance, Endpoint Protector supports approximately 1,000 endpoints without additional configuration. As a Hardware Appliance, different configurations are available, scaling up to 5,000 endpoints from a single appliance. All default versions of Endpoint Protector use MySQL as a database.
