Install and deploy SEM

You can install SEM on Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services. See the following sections for instructions.

Starting with SEM 2026.4, you can also install the SEM Manager FIPS edition on a customer-managed Red Hat Enterprise Linux host. Installation must be a fresh install-you cannot upgrade or convert an existing SEM virtual appliance (Debian) to the FIPS edition in place. See Install the SEM Manager FIPS edition on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

By default, SEM deploys with 8GB RAM and 2 CPUs on both hypervisor platforms.
