Step 1: Purchase HSS Quota

Recommended Editions

HSS comes in basic, enterprise, premium, and WTP editions. Table 1 describes their application scenarios. For more information, see Editions.

• You are advised to deploy HSS on all your servers so that if a virus infects one of them, it will not be able to spread to others and damage your entire network.
• In the pay-per-use mode, HSS stops charging if the servers it protects are stopped.

Constraints

• A quota can be bound to a server to protect it, on condition that the agent on the server is online.
• HSS cannot protect Huawei Cloud servers across regions. If the servers and HSS quota are in different regions, unsubscribe from the quota and purchase HSS in the region where the server is deployed.
• To protect HUAWEI CLOUD servers, non-HUAWEI CLOUD servers can access only the CN-Hong Kong region. You need to purchase protection quotas in this region and use the installation packages or installation command in this region to install the agent on non-HUAWEI CLOUD servers.
