What is Virtualization Scan Controller?

Virtualization Scan Controller is a tool for managing scheduled scans of virtual computers.

You use the tool to ensure that scheduled scans on different computers are run in sequence, rather than all at the same time. This reduces the impact on your virtualization server.

The tool:

  • Lets you manage scans with a single configuration file.
  • Lets you specify initially how much time is allowed for a scan to be run on one computer before a scan starts on the next.
  • Learns from previous scanning cycles how much time should be allowed for each scan.
  • Lets you specify how often each computer can be scanned, how many can be scanned at the same time and other parameters.
Caution The tool doesn't let you specify which files or file types are scanned. This version of the product always runs a full system scan.
