You must be familiar with VMware, Xenserver, Microsoft Hyper-V or Linux KVM virtual environments in order to deploy virtual Stormshield firewalls.

The table below shows the technical requirements for the hypervisor. The Number of interfaces column in the table represents the number of interfaces connected to the virtual machine.

	Version of the hypervisor	Number of interfaces
VMware ESX/ESXi	Version 6.5 and 6.7	Min. 1 interface Max. 10 interfaces
Citrix Xen Server	Version 7.6	Min. 1 interface Max. 7 interfaces
Microsoft Hyper-V	Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2019	Min. 1 interface Max. 8 interfaces
Linux KVM	Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4	Min. 1 interface Max: depends on the Linux vendor chosen

Virtual machines must be able to access the Internet in HTTPS (port 443).
