Prepare for installation

For installation, you need a GravityZone virtual appliance image.

After you deploy and set up the GravityZone appliance, you can remotely install the client or download the necessary installation packages for all security services components from the Control Center web interface.

The GravityZone appliance image is available in several different formats, compatible with the main virtualization platforms.

To obtain the download links, contact the Bitdefender Enterprise Support team.

For installation and initial setup, you must have the following at hand:

  • DNS names or fixed IP addresses (either by static configuration or via a DHCP reservation) for the GravityZone appliances

  • Username and password of a domain administrator

  • vCenter Server, XenServer details (hostname or IP address, communication port, administrator username and password)

  • License keys (check the trial registration or purchase email)

  • Outgoing mail server settings

  • If needed, proxy server settings

  • Security certificates
