Important to Know Before Installation
Before you start the installation, you need to carefully plan the site that you are going to install.
Consult the
Reference Guide
if you need more detailed background information on the operation
of StoneGate than what is offered in this chapter.
Supported Platforms
Sensors and analyzers can be run on the following general types of platforms:
•
Purpose-built StoneGate IPS appliances.
•
Standard Intel-compatible servers. Search for the version-specific
Hardware Requirements
in
the technical documentation search at
http://www.stonesoft.com/en/support/
.
•
As a VMware virtual host. There are some additional requirements and limitations when
StoneGate IPS is run as a virtual host. See the Release Notes for more information. Detailed
instructions can be found in
Installing and Activating StoneGate IPS in VMWare ESX Server
in
the StoneGate Technical Documentation database.
The sensors and analyzers have an integrated, hardened Linux operating system that is always
a part of the StoneGate engine software, eliminating the need for separate operating system
installation, configuration, and patching.
Date and Time Settings
The time settings of the engines do not need to be adjusted, as they are automatically
synchronized to the Management Server’s time setting. For this operation, the time is converted
to UTC time according to the Management Server’s time zone setting.
