[vqhuy 0]

Hi team,

My enviroment include vmware esxi 6.0, vcenter 6.5, 10 vm win server 2012 standard and 10 vm win server 2008.

Now i am planing deploy eset virtualization security, i wonder that my enviroment is suitable for eset deploy im vShield platform ???

As the picture below show that, if i had winser 2012 on my enviroment, i would have had only choice deploy esxi 5.5 to suitable with enviroment esset virtualization deploy ???

Thank you.

Hi Vqhuy,

as vShield is End of Life (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2144733), I'd advise you to deploy VMware NSX (only part responsible for AV which is free, not networking stuff). In such case, please find compatibility list here:

What you're interested in Guest Introspection (successor to vShield) with documentation available here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-Data-Center-for-vSphere/6.4/com.vmware.nsx.admin.doc/GUID-049EF8ED-224C-4CAF-B6E7-1CD063CCD462.html

Long story short, you can deploy newest NSX on vCenter 6.5 with ESXi 6.0 and it'll run fine.
