Tenable OT Security can be deployed one of two ways. We offer a physical appliance, and the ability to deploy a virtual machine in your environment.
To deploy Tenable OT Security on a physical appliance: Install, connect, and configure your Tenable-provided hardware appliance.
To deploy the ICP as a virtual appliance: Download and deploy the relevant .ova or .iso file.
Resources:
Note: Most virtual deployments use the .ova file, which is compatible with VMware. The .iso file can be used for both hardware and virtual installations, including customer-supplied hardware, Hyper-V, or Nutanix.
Get ready for launching the system.
Activate your license. After deployment, activate your Tenable OT Security license. If your asset count post-deployment exceeds your license limit, please contact your Tenable representative. Also, consider optimizing your deployment by hiding non-essential assets to stay within your license bounds.
