Cloud endpoint protection Licencing on VM's

A client is looking at moving to Sophos Clound endpoint protection, as well as a number of laptops, they have three physical servers. One of the physical servers is runnning VMware with 3 or 4 VM's that are runnning 100% of the time, and a handfull of VM's that are stoodup/down as required.

How many endpoint licences do they require? do we need a licence for every configured VM or for every running VM?

Does the Vshield endpoint protection product make any difference to the way licencses are managed (we are not doing any desktop virtualisation, just server).

Cheers

Charles

  • Thanks Jon, that does clarify part of the problem... Just wondering about the 25% bit...

    So with theircurrent setup:

    • Users: 7
    • Physical Servers: 4 (2 in London, 1 in France and DEMO PC)
    • Virtual Servers: 25

    They have a lot more than 25% servers to users... How does that affect licence numbers?

    Cheers,
