Supported ACS options

[Robert Moss]

Hello experts

Looking for some information on running Cisco Secure ACS v5.2 (patch 3 or 10).  These versions are Common Criteria certified

The project I'm working on is all Hyper-V (MS Azure private cloud), so running VMs in ESXi is not really an option

Is ACS supported by TAC on a Bare Metal B series blade or any C series rack mount server?

Is ACS on the roadmap to be supported under Hyper-V?

Is ACS supported on both the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance 1121 and 3415 appliances?

Many thanks for your help

ACS on "bare metal" is only officially supported on one of the SNS series appliances. The newer ones are C-series based but without the SNS validated configuration, you would not have "official" support.

There's not much (any?) roadmap for ACS as Cisco is encouraging customers to migrate to ISE.

ACS on the The CSACS 1121 is log past end of sales but supported for a while longer.

On the SNS-3415 it continues to be sold and supported (although EoS will be October 2016).

Thanks for the fast reply Marvin,

I found a Common Criteria document that shows ISE has been assessed also

Is there any roadmap for ISE on Hyper-V, given that it's the software that we're encouraging customers to move on to?

Many thanks,
