End-of-life and support for GravityZone Security for Virtualized Environments integrations with VMware NSX-T and VMware NSX-V
Broadcom has acquired VMware and announced the End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Support (EOS) for the NSX program, including both NSX-V and NSX-T, effective September 16th, 2024.
As a result of the acquisition, the following changes have been implemented:
NSX-V: Support, updates, and documentation has been discontinued after January 30th, 2025.
NSX-T: Documentation has been transferred to Broadcom, but access to the SDK required for signing SVA OVA images has been discontinued.
To maintain a secure product, Bitdefender announces the end of life and end of support effective August 31st, 2025, for the following integrations:
GravityZone Security for Virtualized Environments integrations with VMware NSX-T
GravityZone Security for Virtualized Environments integrations with VMware NSX-V
Bitdefender will offer the option to update the Security Server to Ubuntu 24.04, through a GravityZone Security Server update task.
End-of-life effects
Starting with August 31st, 2025, Bitdefender will no longer provide support or release product updates for the aforementioned integrations. However, we will continue to deliver security content updates and third-party package updates beyond that date.
