Virtual LuJam Sensors version 1.5.5 now available

To help our MSP partners and mid- to large-sized customers, we've released virtual sensors for testing and deployment.  There are two OVAs available: one for VirtualBox and one for VMWare, both running v1.5.5 of the LuJam sensor.  The OVAs downloads are just under 500M in size, and include a 16G disk image by default.  The recommended configuration is 1G of memory, at least 1 core, and running in bridged mode.  Custom OVAs will be provided for each partner to enable tracking of customer deployments.

The virtual sensors are ideal for the following use cases:

• in-house testing and demos
• large networks where physical sensors are not appropriate or cost prohibitive
• boosting the performance of OpenVAS scanning.  Note, the OpenVAS vulnerability scanner hasn't yet been ported to the virtual sensors.  A separate announcement will be made when this package is available.

Virtual deployments are not recommended for small customers, unless they have a dedicated virtual machine server.  Deploying on, for example, a spare desktop/laptop may be acceptable, but could result in unintended loss of DNS/DHCP in the network.
