All-in-one virtual appliance

The
CylanceON-PREM
virtual appliance includes a database and can support up to 10,000 endpoints. This is an all-in-one option. This option is recommended to support up to 10,000 endpoints because it does not require setting up a PostgreSQL database. The following are the
