Feature announcements
December 2022
There is now a different DockerHub repository hosting the HDS Setup Tool images that we are using. The Cisco Spark HDS configuration we previously used has been replaced by Cisco CITGS configuration.
It is highly recommended that you use the Cisco Cittg Dockerhub repository to get the images you need for creating or updating a configuration ISO for your HDS nodes.
The Hybrid Data Security deployment guide provides a step-by-step guide for creating a configuration ISO file for a HDS host and changing the configuration for the nodes in it.
November 2022
In order to ensure that HDS nodes are connected to your Microsoft SQL Server database using Windows authentication, we have enabled it. Having a secure and resilient HDS implementation is a crucial component of improving your business continuity.
This document explains how to deploy the Hybrid Data Security solution in your environment, which can be found in the deployment guide.
June 2022

In the Advanced settings, you will now be able to define an Exclusion Window for the DB Cleanup Job. It should be noted that the default Exclusion Window for Sunday is between the hours of 1:00 to 4:00 AM (local time).
