This scenario is suitable for larger estates (> 10,000 devices) where the load of scanning would be excessive for a single scan engine.

Deployment Description

In this scenario, the system administrator, or other authorized users, will centrally manage the scan on a shared network with the servers being scanned. Firewalls between divisions may exist but do not significantly block traffic based on open ports/protocols. This deployment scenario allows all scanned traffic to run through the scan engine to be deposited in the shared Scan Engine Scan Database. Go through the checklist below to see if this deployment best suits your company's needs.
