Shared local cache

Shared local cache can boost performance in isolated environments (for example, virtual machines) by eliminating duplicate scanning in the network. This ensures that each file will be scanned only once and stored in the shared cache.

ESET Shared Local Cache must be installed and configured first.

•Download ESET Shared Local Cache.

•For more information, see ESET Shared Local Cache online help.

Turn on the Caching option switch to save information about scans of files and folders on your network to ESET Shared Local Cache. If you perform a new scan, ESET Endpoint Antivirus will search for scanned files in ESET Shared Local Cache. If files match, they will be excluded from scanning.

The setup of Cache server contains the following:

•Hostname – Hostname or IP address of the computer where ESET Shared Local Cache is located.

•Port – Port number used for communication (same as was set in ESET Shared Local Cache).

•Password – Specify the password for ESET Shared Local Cache if required.
