    Hi mehrdad (and cheers, James!),

    Symantec Insight for Private Clouds (SIPC) is compatable with 12.1 RU3 and above- it's intended for very large dark networks.

    What's new with Latest Symantec Endpoint Protection SEP 12.1.RU3

    The private server stores a copy of Symantec Insight's reputation database in your private cloud. Symantec Endpoint Protection reputation queries are HTTP or HTTPS requests to the private server rather than to Symantec's Insight server.

    Could not locate any public information about installation but the server itself is an appliance that needs to be purchased separately from SEPM and installed on dedicated machine.

    Hello,

    Symantec Insight for Private Clouds appliance

    Symantec Insight for Private Clouds Endpoint Edition is typically installed in networks without Internet connectivity. The private server stores a copy of Symantec Insight's reputation database in your private cloud. Symantec Endpoint Protection reputation queries are HTTP or HTTPS requests to the private server rather than to Symantec's Insight server.

    The private server downloads the Symantec Insight data over an encrypted, secure connection. You can manually update the Insight data or use third-party tools to check for updates and download the data automatically. Your update method depends on your network and the type of server on which you run Symantec Insight for Private Clouds.

    When you use a private Insight server, Symantec does not receive any queries or submissions for file reputation.

    Check this Article:

    What's new with Latest Symantec Endpoint Protection SEP 12.1.RU3

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/whats-new-latest-symantec-endpoint-protection-sep-121ru3

    Symantec Insight for Private Clouds (SIPC) is a virtual appliance that can be used for SEP 12.1 RU3 and above's Insight/Reputation-related lookups on dark networks (no Internet connectivity).  A rough analogy is that SIPC is like a "LiveUpdate Administartor 2.x server for Reputation" (creates an in-house mirror of what is on the Internet servers).

    There are substantial system requirments for this virual appliance and SIPC is an optional add-on which must be purchased.  It's best suited for very large high-security networks (tens of thousands of endpoints with no Intenet access) in my understanding.  Sales should have more info for you, if this sounds like something that would be of interest. 

    Hope this helps!

    Your sales rep can provide this info to you. Unfortunately, public info on SIPC is sparse.

    If it's not available on fileconnect with the rest of SEPM related material than my guess is support or your sales rep needs to get this to you.
