Endpoint Agents

The following are requirements for CA Data Protection endpoint computers:

Operating System

CA Data Protection endpoint agents are included in the client.msi and client_x64.msi installation packages.

CA Data Protection endpoint agents support 'centralized applications' running on Windows Server. For these deployments, users access applications such as Outlook on a central server using, for example, Citrix or Remote Desktop Connection.

Important! For details about CA Data Protection and the Windows firewall, see the Known Issues section.

Memory

128 MB

Disk space

Allow approximately 45 MB for the CA Data Protection infrastructure plus an Administration console.

You also need sufficient free disk space to store captured data in a local database. (You can purge this captured data as soon as it has been replicated to the parent server.

Email integration

• Microsoft Outlook
• Lotus Notes

Note: We recommend using Outlook 2010 with "Cached Exchange Mode" enabled if the CA Data Protection client agent is installed. Disabling Cached Exchange Mode results in increased network traffic between the Outlook client and the Exchange Server.

Browser integration

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10

Print integration

Before you install the CPSA, close any applications that are running.

For details, see Before Installing on Client Machines.

Consoles

To run the Administration console or Data Management console, you require:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, or 9
