== Hardware Appliance ==
The Hardware Appliance is a pre-installed and pre-configured Server in a 19" rack.
It contains the following Software components:
* An openSUSE Linux Operating System
* A Web Server (Jetty)
* A ClamAV Virus scanner
* The pre-installed Cryptshare Software
As part of ordering a Hardware Appliance we ask you to give us some information about your network configuration. This information is used to pre-configure your Appliance in a way so that you can directly visit the Administration Interface after connecting it to the network and power supply.
{{InfoBox|title=|content=The software-side of Virtual and Hardware Appliances is identical. Therefore several chapters of this manual apply to both system types.
}}

== Virtual Appliance ==
The Virtual Appliance can be received from the "Support" section of our web site ([https://www.cryptshare.com/ https://www.cryptshare.com])
The Virtual Appliance is exclusively available for VMware and is exclusively using an openSUSE Operating System. Nevertheless it is possible to use Cryptshare on virtual,- or hardware systems using a different hypervisor or a different operating system.  
In this case not the chapters for 'Virtual Appliances' are relevant for you, but the ones dealing with 'other systems' or 'self-installed systems'.
{{InfoBox|title=|content=The software-side Virtual and Hardware Appliances is identical. Therefore several chapters of this manual apply to both system types.

== Self-Installed Systems ==
As an alternative to our Appliances there is the possibility to install Cryptshare on a virtual, or hardware system which has previously been prepared by you according to the Cryptshare System requirements.
These systems are named 'self-installed systems' within this document.
