Abstract
The BVQ Offline scanner - for Storage, Compute or Network - is the application of choice to collect information for a BVQ analysis without installing any program. Start this application on any Windows, Linux or MacOS based server or laptop and let it collect configuration and performance information for a dedicated timeframe (hours up to days or weeks). This information is put into a single zip file which can be sent to a central BVQ service point (SVA or partners) where it will be analyzed for you. Transmission of the offline scanner zip file is encrypted by a https connection when sending it via SVA Sharefile.
