For our customers, this means that they can simply download an ISO installation media of our software appliances from our website and use that to boot up a new VMWare Virtual Machine.
The installation media auto installs the entire hardened servers tack in just minutes which greatly simplifies provisioning of virtual machines for core network service.
Nixu Software confirms that we will support customers running Nixu NameSurfer Suite, Nixu Secure Name Server (NSN), Nixu DHCP Server
and Nixu Network Equipment Extractor (NEE) on supported Operating Systems in VMWare virtual machine environment.
Nixu Software will provide unqualified support for Nixu NameSurfer Suite, Nixu Secure Name Server (NSN), Nixu DHCP Server and
Nixu Network Equipment Extractor (NEE) running in a VMWare Virtual environment in an identical manner as with Nixu Products running
on any other major x86 based system without initially requiring reproduction of issues on native hardware. Should Nixu Software
suspect that the virtualization layer is the root cause of incident; the customer will be required to contact the appropriate
VMWare support provider to resolve the VMWare issue.
While Nixu Products are expected to function properly in a VMWare virtual environment, there may be performance implications which
can invalidate Nixu Software's typical sizing and recommendations.
