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.
