Deployment

The following steps outline Trend Micro recommended best practices when deploying SPRs to your network:

1. Identify Relays with higher-end hardware specifications from the console. Refer to the following website:

2. Check the number of endpoints under each Relay.

   Table 1. SPR Hardware Specifications

   Relay Hardware Specification	Recommendation
   Standard/High-end	Up to 4000 endpoints can be switched to use smart scan on a single Relay.
   Low-end	Relays with low-end hardware can support up to 1000 endpoints that use smart scan. If Relays with low-end hardware need to support more than 1000 endpoints that use smart scan, increase the Relays’ hardware resources, before deploying an SPR. You could also add one more Relay to the site, and move some endpoints to the new Relay, before deploying SPR.

3. Install a Smart Protection Relay on all Relays.
