We are increasing the deployment options for virtual appliances to host the Sophos NDR Sensor and log collectors for 3rd party integrations
The addition of support for MS Hyper-V will allow customers to choose between the existing VMWare virtual appliance and the new MS Hyper-V virtual appliance when creating the image for the data collector. To be eligible to participate in the early access program you will need to already have an MDR product license and an Integration pack for Network Firewall or the Sophos NDR Sensor.
The early access program will run through the end of March 31 2023. For more information and instructions on how to see if the Hyper-V feature is already available please refer to the Hyper-V Early Access WIKI pages Hyper V Early Access
If you are currently in the MDR Integrations EAP then you will see the Hyper V option when selecting the Virtual Platform for a new Data Collector.
