Basic Deployment

The basic deployment is the fastest way to get MetaDefender Storage Security (MDSS) up and running. All system components — MDSS, Metadefender Core, and shared services — are installed on a single 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.

Suitable For

• Small workloads (perfect for testing or light usage)
• Quick setup with minimal configuration

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.
