IAM appliance - Administrator Guide
The IAM appliance is distributed as a VMDK virtual drive file (alternatively, in different formats). When deploying the drive into their infrastructure, the administrator creates a new virtual server, configures it at the hypervisor level and as its hard drive, they register the supplied VMDK file. After that, they boot up the virtual server and the appliance will start with its software and prepared configuration.
