Arcserve supplies it with a personal Sophos Central account so you could manage the software in the cloud.
UDP 9.1 allows you to move all data protection management into the cloud
We chose the on-premises UDP version and installed it on aDellPowerEdge R760xs Xeon Scalable server running Windows Server 2022.

When physical nodes are declared to UDP, an agent is pushed to them.

We also ranked the best antivirus rescue disks.
