NSX-T is supported in Deep Security 12.0 and later. The checkmark (✔) in Deep Security 20.0(version) means the Windows 10 versions are supported by both NSX-v and NSX-T. The x mark (✘) means there is no plan to support (out of support).
Below are some additional notes:
- Items marked with "-" are not yet tested.
- For general agentless solution supportability of the latest Windows 10 version, refer to VMware Tools and Guest Introspection.
- While Deep Security Virtual Appliance compatibility does not rely on VMware Horizon, the supportability of the latest Windows 10 version on VDI agentless also relies on VMware Horizon Agent.
- Microsoft will end its support for Windows 10 version 18 months after its availability. Please refer to Windows lifecycle fact sheet. Deep Security may not fully support it because of the limited support from Microsoft.
