Brand: Bitdefender
Availability: InStock

Optimized protection for physical, virtual and cloud servers.

Quick answer

GravityZone Security for Servers is a low-resource-footprint server protection package. It supports VMware NSX, Citrix and Nutanix integrations for agentless scanning and provides protection for Linux, Windows, Solaris and container workloads.

Security for Servers is the Bitdefender package optimized for server workloads. VMware NSX integration for agentless scanning is one of Bitdefender's strongest technologies — performance impact stays minimal even in 10,000+ VM environments.

Linux + Windows + Solaris support combined with container (Docker/Kubernetes) protection delivers comprehensive coverage for hybrid data centers and multi-cloud workloads.

Who is it for?

Heavily virtualized data centers and cloud-native operators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does it differ from Deep Security?

Deep Security has a broader feature set (host IPS, FIM, virtual patching); Security for Servers is leaner and lower-cost. Selection depends on data-center complexity.

How does agentless scanning work?

The Security Server integrates with NSX-T, is vMotion-compatible and inspects file operations through VMware Tools without an in-VM agent.

Is Kubernetes runtime protection supported?

Yes — container image registry scanning plus runtime behavior monitoring across EKS, AKS, GKE and OpenShift.

Is Solaris support real?

Yes. Critical for core-banking and telecom OSS systems. Solaris 10/11 supported.

What is the performance impact?

Agentless via NSX: zero in-VM impact. Full agent: ~3% CPU. AV-Comparatives rates it in the lowest-impact category.

Is licensing per VM?

Yes. Powered-off VMs do not consume licenses. Pay-as-you-go hourly pricing is available in the cloud marketplaces.

Is Hyper-V supported?

Yes. Hyper-V support is full; agentless equivalent of NSX is not available on Hyper-V.
