i've read some documents of guest introspection but still don't understand it completely.
my doubts are:
1. the guest introspection is made for anti-virus/malware purpose only?
2. the thin agent driver replaces the traditional AV program in VMs so there's no need to configure antivirus in the VM?
3. is it meaningless to install and use guest introspection without third party's(vmware partners) secure virtual appliances?
4. the thin agent and secure virtual appliance do all the antivirus tasks instead of what typical antivirus programs do?
5. how does it protect offline VMs?
6. is there redundancy between SVMs (since the SVM will be installed on each host in the cluster)?
7. is there any features/functions similar to guest introspection in pure vSphere platform?
sorry for the stupid questions, any reply will be appreciated!
