sanjay mehta 6 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 this post is to highlight the strong need for a virtual appliance for eset bridge so that the bridge installation can be expedited at the client premises. we have a need to install eset bridge on a separate server machine for eset protect advanced cloud license. but there is no windows server license available and users are not comfortable maintaining a linux server (hard machine or virtual). availability of a virtual appliance can help to ease the task of installing bridge in the network quickly.

ESET Staff IggyPop 22 Posted June 13 ESET Staff Share Posted June 13 I'm not 100% sure if I understand this correctly, however, Bridge does support the newest version of the Virtual Appliance which is compatible with the ESET PROTECT (Rocky Linux 9.3) But if I have missed out on your question I will be more than happy to answer additional questions.

Administrators Marcos 5,306 Posted June 14 Administrators Share Posted June 14 What benefits do you see in having a stand-alone appliance with ESET Bridge compared to installing ESET Bridge on the existing ESET PROTECT VA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mirroring will not provide manageability from eset protect). Edited June 14 by sanjay mehta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
