Think "Corporate Edition." My company uses Symantec AV CE:
http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?productid=155

Our IT guys made up a custom client install package for everyone to
install on their work computers. Plus another custom client to install
on home computers. The work clients look to our server for updates, the
home clients go to Symantec servers for their updates.

I believe our server can also push AV updates and software updates too.
