Lan speed decrease

[Alborz-Mahmoodi]

Hi sir or Madam

I have a Dl380 G6 with windows 2003 SP2 so my problem is decreases the LAN speed when i install the Anti Virus on it.
Please guide me something about this issue and tell me about the best anti virus compatible with G6 series .

Thanks about your consideration ..

In my opinion, there is nothing like best antivirus for G6 servers.

Select a antivirus which is compatible with the OS.

Many anti-virus programs have a best practice guide for installing on a server. Did you apply it?

Did you consider teaming multiple NICs together to increase performance? You can team/trunk up to 8 NICs. It is simple under Windows 2003.

I use Symantec Endpoint on my servers. I followed their configuration/best practices guide. 4 x 1Gbps trunked NICs for 4 Gbps.
