• Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter / Enterprise / Standard Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 is required for the installation of the Integration Server, Integration Server Management Console, and Kaspersky Security administration plug-in.

Software requirements for the File Anti-Virus component

For the File Anti-Virus component to work properly, the virtual infrastructure must meet the following software requirements:

• Option 1:
  • VMware ESXi 6.7 hypervisor (all updates), VMware ESXi 6.5 hypervisor (Update 2 and later) or VMware ESXi 6.0 hypervisor (Update 3a and later)
  • VMware vCenter Server 6.7 (6.7.0b and later), VMware vCenter Server 6.5 (Update 2b and later) or VMware vCenter Server 6.0 (Update 3f and later)
  • VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4 (6.4.1 and later)
• Option 2:
  • VMware ESXi 6.5 hypervisor (Update 2 and later) or VMware ESXi 6.0 hypervisor (Update 3a and later)
  • VMware vCenter Server 6.5 (Update 2b and later) or VMware vCenter Server 6.0 (Update 3f and later)
  • VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3 (6.3.6 and later)

VMware Tools kit version 10.2.5 is required for the File Anti-Virus component to function correctly.

When installing the VMware Tools suite, the Guest Introspection Thin Agent component must be installed. When installing the VMware Tools suite with the default settings, the Guest Introspection Thin Agent component will not be installed. For information about installing and updating VMware Tools, see the VMware product documentation.

The File Anti-Virus component protects virtual machines that have the following guest operating systems installed:

• Windows desktop operating systems:
  • Windows 10 Pro / Enterprise RS1 / RS2 / RS3 / RS4 / RS5 (32 / 64-bit)
  • Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (32 / 64-bit)
  • Windows 8.1 (32 / 64-bit)
  • Windows 8 (32 / 64-bit)
  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32 / 64-bit)
• Windows server operating systems:
  • Windows Server 2019 (with NSX version 6.4.5 and VMware tools 10.3.10)
  • Windows Server 2016 (LTSC) (64-bit)

  • Windows Server 2012 without ReFS (Resilient File System) support (64-bit)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

The list of supported versions of guest operating systems depends on VMware Tools system requirements.

One of the following file systems must be used on protected virtual machines running Windows operating systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ISO9660, UDF, CIFS.

• Linux server operating systems:
  • Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (64-bit)

One of the following file systems must be used on protected virtual machines running Linux operating systems:

• Local file systems: EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, XFS, BTRFS, VFAT, ISO9660.
• Network file systems: NFS, CIFS.

Software requirements for the Network Threat Detection component

For the Network Threat Detection component to work, the VMware virtual infrastructure must meet the following software requirements:

• Option 1:
  • VMware ESXi 6.7 hypervisor (all updates), VMware ESXi 6.5 hypervisor (Update 2 and later) or VMware ESXi 6.0 hypervisor (Update 3a and later)

  • VMware vCenter Server 6.5 (Update 2b and later) or VMware vCenter Server 6.0 (Update 3f and later)
  • VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3 (6.3.6 and later)

A guest operating system of a protected virtual machine has the same requirements as those for the File Anti-Virus component.

A current license for NSX for vSphere Advanced or NSX for vSphere Enterprise is required in order for the Network Threat Detection component to work.

The Network Threat Detection component protects virtual machines that use the E1000 or VMXNET3 network adapter.
