I have been using Syamantec Carrier Scan Server since April when it was released and have just upgraded to 2.1.3. There were a few issues that needed to be addressed by both Symantec and NetApp but overall with a little tweking it has been pretty stable. Prior to this other then client side scanning our only other method was mounting volumes and scanning them. With the size of our volumes this could take up to a week and obviously isn't a very solid soltion. The implementation of CSS was definitely the way to go, it eased management and I have even enabled it for live updates of new definition files.

Likewise, anyone able to answer the same questions concerning Norton CarrierScan? Maybe a comparison/contrast of the pros and cons of each?

Hello, we are looking at getting this for an on-access virus scanning solution for our F740. Does anyone use this product? What is your opinion about it? It seems to be very new. We have NetShield for our servers and VirusScan for our workstations so we wanted to stick with an NAI solution for our filer. Bad idea? How bad of a bottleneck is it with the anti-virus server as a middleman?
