Does Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux support GPFS and RHEL 6.x?

An Schall

Hi all,

We are running various servers with legacy RHEL 6 OS and GPFS as the underlying operating system. Does Sophos support both requirements?

Thanks

An

    Hello An,

    You're talking about Sophos 9.x or one of the Central offerings? Just curious, what exactly is your need?

    RHEL 6 support has been retired Nov 2020, AFAIK (though the answer is pointless) GPFS isn't on the list of supported file systems.

    Hi there,

    thanks for the swift reply. We are searching for an on-premise end-point protection / anti-virus solution that is capable to work with RHEL 6.x and GPFS. On top it should be possible to have it run as a daemon.

    I am not entirely familiar with the differences between Sophos 9.x or Central Offerings. Given the rather strict requirements mentioned above I wanted to clarify both requirements first before diving into details.

    However, it seems like that both requirements cannot be fulfilled.

    Thanks!

    Hello An,

    the on-premise 9.x is anyway EOL mid next year. 
    As you said daemon - do you want "automatic" real-time scans or an API for on-demand scanning?

    Are you looking to include it into your own code? Like an OPM option?

    Indeed, we would like to include it into our own code. With respect to daemon I was referring to the AV solution having the signature database in memory all the time instead of loading it into memory whenever it is called. I am not referring to on-access monitoring that would inspect files of a given directory tree based on kernel hooks.

    However, we have both strict requirements to support GPFS and RHEL 6. Hence, I guess Sophos is not a viable solution.

    We have a dedicated OPM team that helps customers do these sorts of integrations. If you want, I can ask them to reach out to you.

    as a quick note, the element you would use is SUSI. Its our OPM solution that can be bundled into other applications/services

    Thanks for the support. However, this would only fly if the two main requirements (support for GPFS and RHEL 6.x) are fulfilled.
