There are 2 models supported for deployment of the VisibleThread Docs on premise:
- A Red Hat package (rpm files) that you install into your own Red Hat server instance.
- A pre-packaged Virtual Appliance (.ova file) that you import into your virtualization infrastructure. The VM contains a pre-installed Ubuntu Operating System plus VisibleThread components. We have tested and certify deployment on VMWare ESX hypervisor. If you wish to deploy the appliance on a different hypervisor, please contact our support team at support@visiblethread.com
Red Hat RPM install
Details of how to obtain the VisibleThread RPM's and install them can be found here:
Deploy as an Ubuntu Virtual Appliance
If you intend to deploy VisibleThread on ESX, you can download the appliance as on ova. We provide two versions of the appliance - one with an encrypted database and one with an unencrypted database.
