In order to optimize the performance following are the available features in SEP. The SEP clients would report to the available Symantec End Point Protection Manager and get content updates from the internal LiveUpdate Administrator. The individual clients will protect the virtual computers. SEP client needs to be installed on each client virtual machines in case of Horizon View VMs this will be installed as part of the desktop base image. In the first part I would discuss the various components and the architecture for this solution.

I want to give due attention to each step and provide enough information for anyone who would need a reference on this topic which is why I will be separating it in 3 parts. This prompted me to work on a series of blog articles which covers the Symantec SEP integration with Horizon View, I would attempt and complete it in a 3 Part series. I worked my way across the design and implementation by reading various whitepapers both by VMware and Symantec. When I started working on the project I was not able to find much information on the exact steps required for me to design and implement a Horizon View solution with Symantec Endpoint protection.

No Symantec cliënt installed + 3 Appstacks 0,50 MinĪnyone dealing the same issues? We can`t skip Symantec or move to another AV vendor.In one of my recent VDI projects I was working with Symantec Endpoint Protection as the choice of AV solution. Symantec Application & Device Control off + 1 Appstack 1,25 Min Symantec all components on + 1 Appstack 1,51 Min Symantec Application & Device Control off + 3 AppStacks 2,06 Min Symantec all components on + 3 Appstacks 2,36 Min Only disabling "Application & Device Control" seems to improve login and application performance. We`ve been testing all scenario`s disabling components of symantec. When SEP is installed including all obvious exceptions and even using the virtual image exception tool no significant change in performance is noticed. Without a SEP cliënt installed everything is performing well and user experience feels like a persistent VDI. App Volumes and Symantec Endpoint Protection doesn`t seem to like each other. We`ve been troubleshooting slow login and poor application performance on our Non Persistent VDI for a while now.
