when the installation is complete. The engine runs as a service.
Installation of Software Appliance
Kerio Control in the software appliance edition is distributed as an ISO image of the installation
CD that can be used to implement the system and install the firewall on either a physical or
virtual host.
ISO image of the installation CD can be burned on a physical CD and then the CD can be used
for installation of the system on the target computer (either physical or virtual). In case of
virtual computers, the ISO image can be also connected as a virtual CD ROM, without the need
to burn the installation ISO file on a CD.
After installation, the computer will be rebooted and a simple wizard for setting of
the following basic firewall parameters will get started network interfaces, remote
administration, Admin passwords, etc. Any other settings can be done remotely in the Kerio
Control Administration web interface.

OVF file — for example:

VMware ESX/ESXi automatically downloads the OVF configuration file and
a corresponding disk image (.vmdk).

parameters of the firewall network interfaces, time and time zone, etc. Other parameters
can be set remotely in the Kerio Control Administration web interface.
