Trend Micro brings cloud security to Windows Server

Small Business Computing reports.

The company announced that it will integrate its venerable Worry-Free Business Security Services into the Windows Server 2012 Essentials management console. In the grand scheme of a big server OS launch, it's a small detail that can have a big impact on how small businesses protect their data and how early they fold cloud services into their IT mix.

Ideal as the first server for small businesses, Windows Server 2012 Essentials provides an easy-to-use solution to help protect data with its advanced, automated backup features, PR Newswire writes.

It also helps businesses organise and access information from virtually anywhere, supports the applications needed to run the business, and can help organisations quickly connect to online services that they acquire separately.

Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Services is powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, the security infrastructure that stops threats in cyberspace, or "in the cloud", and monitors the Internet 24/7, worldwide. The Smart Protection Network gathers and analyses threat data, viruses and other malware before they can reach computers. Because processing is done off the system and in the cloud, Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Services minimises slowdowns by using less memory and disk space.
