Websense V-Series Appliances
If your organization generates a high volume of reports, or a lower volume of very
large reports, hosting the TRITON console on the appliance can affect the
performance of other appliance modules.
Email components
On an appliance running in Email mode or Web and Email mode, the appliance
contains the majority of email security features, including the following services:
Configuration Service
Authentication Service
Quarantine Service
Log Service
Update Service
Filtering Service
Mail Transfer Agent
Only management (via the TRITON Unified Security Center), and logging (via Email
Security Log Server) are performed by off-appliance components.
Software that runs off-appliance
The Websense components mentioned in this section must be installed off-appliance.
Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server must be installed off-appliance.
Use the Websense Installer to install any of the components mentioned here. See the
Websense Technical Library
for more information about components and installation
instructions.
Web components
The following Web components never run on the appliance. Some are Windows-only
components.
Web Security Log Server
Real-Time Monitor
Important
If it is running on an appliance, TRITON Unified Security
Center has only its Web security functions enabled. If you
want to use more than the Web security functions—for
example, TRITON - Data Security—then TRITON
Unified Security Center must be installed off-appliance on
a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.
