What is McAfee MOVE?

McAfee Management for Optimized Virtual Environments (MOVE) AntiVirus for virtual desktops and servers is uniquely designed to relieve the overhead of traditional endpoint security, yet provide the protection and performance essential for success.

Traditional anti-virus software has proven to be very resource intensive for virtual environments. Multiple virtual machines could perform anti-virus scanning at the same time, bringing the host machine to a crawl. Widely called anti-virus storms, they disrupt the business continuity of your mission-critical applications. Secure virtualization technologies tied to a specific hypervisor creates virtual environment silos and increases IT administrative overhead. Anti-virus scanning ignores the load on the hypervisor, compromising application performance when it’s needed the most. Traditional anti-virus software has a relatively large footprint, consuming precious shared resources. Signature files are not updated in offline virtual machines, leaving them vulnerable when they’re brought back online.
