Deploy ESET PROTECT VA

Download ESET PROTECT VA

The ESET PROTECT Virtual Appliance is available from the ESET PROTECT On-Prem download page:

The appliance is available as protect_appliance.ova (Open Virtualization Appliance).

If you are deploying your VA on Microsoft Hyper-V, use the protect_appliance.vhdx.zip file instead of the .ova file.

The .ova file is a template that contains a functional operating system (Rocky Linux). To deploy the ESET PROTECT VA .ova file, follow the instructions for your hypervisor. When using protect_appliance.ova, you can choose which ESET PROTECT Virtual Appliance type you want your VM to run following deployment. When you have selected the type, you can start configuring your ESET PROTECT Virtual Appliance. After you deploy the .ova file, select the appliance type and configure settings for your VA. The VA is a complete environment with ESET PROTECT On-Prem (or one of its components).
