Hello I wanted to give you an update on SVE 1.2. I know a lot of you are awaiting this release before fully migrating over from the retiring SAV for vShield . SVE 1.2 will include new failover capability for your Guest VMs (GVMs), as a quick summary there are 3 main use cases: Maintain protection for a GVM if it loses connection to its current SVM. So that it can choose another available SVM to provide it with protection. This is to help in the case that either the GVM is migrated or the SVM is powered off etc. The GVM will choose the "best" available SVM from a selection of available SVMs. If a SVM is overloaded the GVMs will find the most appropriate SVM to connect to. "Anti-clumping" - If an SVM is rebooted, for example due to an upgrade, when that SVM comes back on line the GVMs will redistribute themselves to make use of the available resources. This is to prevent all the GVMs connecting to the rebooted SVM which could cause bottlenecks. The trust between SVMs and GVMs are with certificates. With Sophos Endpoint Console you will need to provide a signed certificate chain (help will be provided) For Sophos Central management the certificates will be provided directly from Central. SVE 1.2 will be released Q1 2018. Mark

Update on 1.2

Hello

I wanted to give you an update on SVE 1.2. I know a lot of you are awaiting this release before fully migrating over from the retiring SAV for vShield.

SVE 1.2 will include new failover capability for your Guest VMs (GVMs), as a quick summary there are 3 main use cases:

Maintain protection for a GVM if it loses connection to its current SVM. So that it can choose another available SVM to provide it with protection. This is to help in the case that either the GVM is migrated or the SVM is powered off etc.
The GVM will choose the "best" available SVM from a selection of available SVMs. If a SVM is overloaded the GVMs will find the most appropriate SVM to connect to.
"Anti-clumping" - If an SVM is rebooted, for example due to an upgrade, when that SVM comes back on line the GVMs will redistribute themselves to make use of the available resources. This is to prevent all the GVMs connecting to the rebooted SVM which could cause bottlenecks.

The trust between SVMs and GVMs are with certificates. With Sophos Endpoint Console you will need to provide a signed certificate chain (help will be provided)

For Sophos Central management the certificates will be provided directly from Central.

SVE 1.2 will be released Q1 2018.
