Introduction
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.
