vShield and vShield Endpoint requirements

[delapenajg]

Hey Pals,

Just wondering if vShield Endpoint can be integrated immediately to vSphere Essentials Plus License. If not, what is the minimum requirement? I understand that vShield Zones is only present in vSphere Advanced license, should it also be the case for vShield Endpoint?

Btw, how do we license Endpoint, App and Edge? Thanks!

I've looked it up on the internet an it says:

The minimum requirement for vShield products are vSphere 4.0 U1 (Essentials Plus and above), vCenter 4.0 and vSphere Client 4.1. Only vShield Endpoint requires vSphere 4.1.

I just have to have an official document that can confirm if this is true or not before recommending it to one of our customers.

if you have the partner portal access, you would able to access and download the cheatsheets which would answer all the above queries.

i have searched any documents in partner central but can't seem to find one. Only boxshots, datasheet and presentation slides which does not state any information related to my inquiry.

Hi Delapenajg,

I confirm the answer that was provided to you earlier on the forum is correct, although it might be too late for you. I am sure many other people still hit the same post and find your post being not answered up to know. I have confirmed the answer with our security team responsible for vShield and post up the info in more details at:

vShield Zone – vShield App – vShield Edge – vShield EndPoint Required vSphere version

Please give points if this info is usefull.
