Endpoint Protection

I'm looking for a SEP client that can be installed on VMWare Hypervisors.  Does Symantec offer a product for that?

I saw this, but can I install it directly on a Hypervisor?  It doesn't say.

Hello,

You can install SEP 12.1.RU1 could be installed on Vmware Hypervisor.

I would suggest you look at these Article before you install SEP clients on these machines.

I would recommend you to work on the Articles below:

1) Recommended Exceptions for Symantec Endpoint Protection on Hyper-V

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH133846

2) Using the Virtual Image Exception tool on a base image

http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55325

3) Bypassing the scanning of base image files

http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55327

...and despite the fact it says it only applies to SEP11 and SEP12.0, the below link is the best article I can find regarding support for installing anything on a hypervisor/host machine (Hyper-V):

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH106269

I can find no articles to refute this, nor any that define compatibility with sticking a SEP client on ESX(i).

I would go with "No you can't install a SEP client directly onto your Hypervisor".

That's not to say I don't recommend you use SEP for your virtual guests though.  As has been linked by Mithun above, SEP12.1 includes several technologies for reducing overhead on virtual platforms without compromising security.

Further to the VIE tool mentioned by Mithun, there's also the Shared Insight Cache: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55311

Finally, just to pre-empt a usual question that follows, SEP12.1 does not use vShield (article lists all the overhead reducing technologies in SEP12.1):

While not applicable in your case, it's also great that these technologies are available regardless of what virtual platform is used.

But that link doesn't even mention Hypervisor.
