Cisco is continuously innovating to deliver more effective and efficient solutions for our customers. We're excited to announce a major update to the Virtual Appliance (VA), designed to elevate your experience.
This upcoming release features an upgrade to the underlying Ubuntu OS from version 20.04 to 22.04, along with enhanced performance throughput. These enhancements will significantly boost the efficiency, reliability, and security of our Virtual Appliances. Additionally, the update will extend VA support to VMware ESXi 8.0 U3.
Get ready for an exclusive first look at VA version 3.8.0, expected to debut around mid-April 2025. We're actively seeking Beta partners to collaborate with us during the release to the Stage track and provide their invaluable feedback.
