avast! Distributed Network Manager
avast! Distributed Network Manager (ADNM) is free of charge. That means that any owner of avast! antivirus licenses (at least 2 licenses of avast! Professional 4.8 or 1 Server Edition 4.8 – except avast! for Linux) is eligible to use ADNM.
avast! Distributed Network Manager (ADNM) represents a suite of powerful tools designed to help network administrators manage other avast! antivirus products installed on the network.
Its unrivaled flexibility and scalability makes it an ideal solution for networks of any size, from simple small-business networks up to large heterogenous networks spanning multiple continents. The ADNM system consists of the following components:
- avast! Management Server (AMS)
- SQL Database
- Administration Console
These three components work together with the avast! antivirus products deployed on individual workstations and servers on the network to provide the best possible protection against malware and to minimize the effort needed to manage and monitor their current status.
The ADNM download package includes the managed versions of both avast! Server Edition and avast! Professional Edition (for Network Clients), so they do not need to be downloaded separately. They can be used free of charge in “Demo” mode for a 60-day trial period, but by the end of the trial period, the appropriate number of licenses must be purchased.
- remote installation of avast! antivirus
- automatic enforcement of security policies (settings, schedules, updates, …)
