Re: Exadata and anti-virus

Hi Brad,

Installed 20+ Exadatas and never had to justify the lack of anti-virus let alone install one.

I could somehow justify installing anti-virus on linux ftp/file server, serving Windows clients but on a database server, never.

Why would you want to do that and what would you achieve ?

Regards,
Sve
