M86 Security Reporter Deployment Options

The M86 Security Reporter is available as a traditional appliance, virtual appliance or combination of the two. These options give organizations the flexibility to deploy reporting in the most convenient, cost effective way possible.

• Traditional appliance
  Deployed as an all-in-one, standalone appliance, the M86 SR requires no additional hardware, software or support resources. This minimizes costs and resources.  >> View Appliance Models
• Virtual appliance
  The M86 SR virtual appliance provides the same level of robust reporting as the traditional appliance, but it deploys as a virtual appliance via VMWare ESXi4—on an organization's hardware of choice. This gives organizations the flexibility to deploy reporting that fits hardware platform requirements, capacity limitations and supported hardware costs.
• Combination of traditional and virtual appliance
  For organizations that need more than one M86 SR unit, the M86 SR is available in any combination of traditional and virtual appliance options. For example, an enterprise could install a traditional appliance at corporate headquarters and use a virtual appliance at a satellite office that has less space or fewer IT resources.
