MetaDefender ICAP Server Deployments
For Organizations With On-Premises Deployments
- If you have a traditional IT setup and need to virtualize existing physical servers for better resource utilization and isolation, VMs are suitable. They provide a flexible way to run multiple MetaDefender ICAP Server instances on the same hardware.
- If you need to run legacy applications that require specific OS environments, on-premises deployment offers a controlled environment for applications that cannot be containerized easily.
Security Compliance
Data remains on-premises to help meet data protection regulations.
Reduced Latency
Improve performance by processing data close to its source.
Full Control
Complete control over infrastructure and configurations to meet specific organizational requirements.
Cloud Back-End Service Available
Choose to route the file scanning traffic to on-premises MetaDefender Core or cloud-based MetaDefender Cloud.
Resource Utilization
Optimize hardware usage and reduce cost as VMs allow multiple virtual environments to run on a single physical device.
Customizable
Implement tailored security solutions that align with your organization’s specific operational requirements.
For Enterprises With Modern Architecture, Distributed Applications, and Containerized Workloads
- If you are modernizing applications and want to leverage containerization for better scalability and management, containers are a great choice. This option allows you to scale MetaDefender ICAP Server instances to fit your microservices architecture.
- Helm support is available for AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
High Availability and Scalability
Automatically scale to meet your business demands. Service is always ready, regardless of spikes or volume.
Resource Utilization
Optimize resource allocation with Kubernetes orchestration to reduce operational costs.
Self-Healing
Kubernetes provides disaster recovery mechanisms to ensure reliable file scanning uptime.
Automation
Automate deployment, scaling, and operations of MetaDefender application containers.
Flexibility
Seamlessly deploy MetaDefender across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments.
Cloud Back-End Service Available
Choose to route the file scanning traffic to on-premises MetaDefender Core or cloud-based MetaDefender Cloud.
For Businesses With Limited IT Resources or a Preference for Cloud-Native Solutions
- If you are a small-to-medium business looking for simplicity and cost efficiency, Cloud/SaaS deployment for MetaDefender ICAP Server is ideal. They reduce the need for in-house IT management and provide instant access to software and services while maintaining robust security capabilities.
- If your organization has limited IT resources and prefers to focus on core business activities rather than managing infrastructure, Cloud/SaaS is also suitable as it offers managed services and reduces operational overhead.
Ease of Use
Quick deployment with minimal setup time to help reduce initial setup and implementation costs.
Global Manageability
Access and collaborate MetaDefender service by local, remote or distributed teams.
High Availability
Built-in high availability and disaster recovery features to minimize the risks of service disruption caused by hardware failures.
Automatic Updates
Stay up-to-date with the latest features and security patches and minimize maintenance efforts.
Simplicity and Cost Efficiency
Consumption-based pricing gives you the flexibility to pay for what you use. Reduce the need for in-house IT management by receiving instant access to MetaDefender services.
Reduced Operational Burden
OPSWAT's managed backend ensures smooth operations, even in complex hybrid setups.
