Overview of repository types

There are several types of repositories you can use in your managed environment.

The ePolicy Orchestrator server always acts as the Master Repository. It keeps the master copy of all

the content needed by your agents. The server replicates content to each of the repositories

distributed throughout your environment. As a result, your agents can retrieve updated content from

an alternate and closer source.

Your ePolicy Orchestrator server requires does not require configuration

to make it the Master Repository. It is the Master Repository by default.

Repository types include:

• FTP repositories

• HTTP repositories

• UNC share repositories

• SuperAgents

Keep the following considerations in mind when planning your distributed repositories:

• The McAfee ePO server requires certain protocols be used for the repositories, but any server

vendor can provide those protocols. For example, if you use an HTTP repository you can use either

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) or Apache server (Apache is the faster option).

• There is no operating system requirement for the systems that host your repository. As long as

your ePolicy Orchestrator server can access the folders you specify to copy its content to, and as

long as the agents can connect to the folder to download their updates, everything works as expected

• Your agent updates and ePO replication tasks are only as good as your repositories. If you are

already using one of these repositories and your environment works well, then do not change the

configuration.

If you are starting with a new installation, with no repositories, use a

SuperAgent because they are easy to configure and reliable.

FTP repositories

You can use an FTP server to host a distributed McAfee ePO server repository. You might already have

FTP servers in your environment and you can allow McAfee content to reside there as well.

FTP repositories are:

• Generally fast

• Can manage extensive load from the clients pulling data

• Helpful in a DMZ where HTTP may not be optimal and UNC shares can't be used

Using FTP servers your clients do not need authentication and can use anonymous logon to pull their

content. No authentication reduces the chance a client might fail to pull its content.

HTTP repositories

You can use an HTTP server to host a distributed McAfee ePO server repository. You might already

have HTTP servers in your environment placed in the proper regional locations.

HTTP servers can be very fast serving out files to large environments. An HTTP server like Apache is a

good example. Your HTTP servers allow clients to pull their content without authentication. No

authentication reduces the chance a client might fail to pull its content.
