It's up to you, we set it up to only really dump infection reports to a
central server, and you won't see it popup notifications to the user or to
the server's console.  You can choose to do it as you wish.  Trend was
developed from the get-go as a corporate environment AV program, which is
why the implementation will always require a master or server side
installation for things like, deploying the program to remote servers,
administration of infection reports, automatic updating of dats, etc.  
As long as you set it up properly to scan only inbound or outbound traffic
(which is all you'll need on a TS) than you won't see your performance dip
on the processors much at all.  Also, there will not be more than one
instance of it running per TServer so your last statement you do not have to
worry about.  We use it for both Server and Workstation AV and it is
awesome.  The one small drawback that we had at one time, just for the
workstations, was that we couldn't install it on a workstation not on our
network because we couldn't change it per install to update the dats over
the internet instead of via the central server, but we figured out how to do
that as well, so we literally have no complaints about the product at all...

Does this product pop up infection notices to the user, or only to the
console?  What is the processor overhead?  I know Anti-virus software is
particularly taxing on systems, and I don't want to have 80 instances of a
real-time scanner running clogging up my servers...

We use Trend Micro/Server Protect, works like a charm.
