Hardware and software requirements

For Kaspersky Security to operate in an organization's local network, one of the following versions of Kaspersky Security Center must be installed:

If you want to use the Kaspersky Security functionality available under an enterprise license, you need to install Kaspersky Security Center 10 Service Pack 3.

This Guide describes how to work with Kaspersky Security Center 10 Service Pack 3.

Requirements for the virtual infrastructure

For Kaspersky Security to run in the virtual infrastructure, one of the following hypervisors must be installed:

The application can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisors that are part of a hypervisor cluster managed by the Windows Failover Clustering service. Cluster Shared Volumes technology must be enabled on cluster nodes.

A VMware vCenter 5.5, VMware vCenter 6.0, VMware vCenter 6.5, or VMware vCenter 6.7 server with all available updates must be installed in the virtual infrastructure to support deployment and operation of an SVM (secure virtual machine) on VMware ESXi hypervisors. The VMware vCenter server is a virtual infrastructure administration server for deploying SVM and providing SVM with virtual infrastructure information.

To deploy SVMs on Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V hypervisors, you can use a Microsoft SCVMM virtual infrastructure administration server of one of the following versions:

To deploy an SVM on KVM hypervisors running the CentOS operating system, you must delete or comment out the “Defaults requiretty” line in the /etc/sudoers configuration file of the hypervisor's operating system.

SVM resource requirements for installing the Kaspersky Security Protection Server component

To run Kaspersky Security on an SVM, the following minimum system resources are required:

Virtual machine requirements for installing the Light Agent for Windows component

To install and operate the Light Agent for Windows component, the virtual machine must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

Before installing the Light Agent for Windows component on a virtual machine powered by a Citrix XenServer hypervisor, the application XenTools must first be installed.

The VMware Tools kit must be installed before installing the Light Agent for Windows component on a virtual machine powered by a VMware ESXi hypervisor.

An Integration Services package must be installed on a virtual machine powered by a Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor.

One of the following guest operating systems must be installed on the virtual machine to support the installation and operation of the Light Agent for Windows component:

The Integrity Monitoring component works only on virtual machines that have an NTFS or FAT32 file system.

To avoid delays in installing the application under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, make sure that the Windows operating system automatically updates lists of trusted and untrusted (revoked) software vendor certificates online via Windows Update. For systems without access to Windows Update or systems on which automatic updating of lists of trusted and untrusted certificates is disabled, these lists must be kept up to date manually in accordance with the Microsoft technical support recommendations at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2677070 and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2813430.

Light Agent for Windows component can protect virtual machines that are part of an infrastructure employing the following virtualization solutions:

If you use the Citrix XenDesktop 7.15, Citrix XenApp 7.15, Citrix Provisioning Services 7.15, or VMware Horizon View 7.4 virtualization solutions, on the golden image you need to configure the recommended exclusions specified on the application page in the Knowledge Base.

Virtual machine requirements for installing the Light Agent for Linux component

To ensure proper installation and operation of the Light Agent for Linux component, the virtual machine must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

Software requirements for installation and operation of the Light Agent for Linux component:

To install Light Agent for Linux and ensure proper functioning of the Light Agent for Linux component on a virtual machine, the following packages must be installed:

One of the following guest server operating systems must be installed on the virtual machine to support the installation and operation of the Light Agent for Linux component:

Network Agent 10.5.X-Х must be installed on the virtual machine where Light Agent for Linux will be deployed. Network Agent 10.5.X-Х is included in the distribution kit of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent.

Software and hardware requirements for the Integration Server component

The computer must have one of the following operating systems to support installation and operation of the Integration Server component:

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 platform is required for the operation of Integration Server, Integration Server Management Console, and Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins. This platform will be automatically installed during installation of Integration Server, Integration Server Management Console, and Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins.

The computer must meet the following minimum hardware requirements to support installation and operation of the Integration Server:
