Basic deployment

This is the fastest and easiest way to get MetaDefender Storage Security (MDSS) up and running. Think of it as putting everything – storage, MDSS itself, and its MD Core processing – on one machine.

Imagine running MDSS on a single computer. It's fast to set up and good for small tasks. But if you need to handle a lot of work or can't afford any downtime, this isn't the right choice.

Who is it for?

• Small Workloads making it perfect for testing or very light usage.
• Quick Setup so ideal when you need MDSS running quickly without complex configurations.

Key Points

• All components run on one server.
• You can't add more servers to handle more load.
• If the server goes down, MDSS goes down.
• You can still reconfigure or upgrade MDSS on this setup.

Important Considerations

• Performance will vary depending on your server and file types.
• This setup is not recommended for live, critical systems where you need high availability or the ability to handle a lot of data.
• You get simplicity, but you lose the ability to scale and ensure continuous operation.
