When you decide whether to install AgentFS locally on a Windows server, or to have the AgentFS service run as a proxy, be aware of the following:
Locally installed agents perform scans faster than proxy-based agents.
Locally installed agents share CPU and memory resources with other software running on the system. If a server is already constrained for resources, consider using a proxy instead of installing the agent locally.
