Run the ActivID FT5000 Commerce configuration as a virtual appliance where a virtual-instance deployment is required. HID Global FT5000VBA combines the FT5000 Commerce designation with software cryptography and an Oracle Database configuration. It addresses deployments that need the ActivID appliance format without a physical appliance chassis. The configuration is software-oriented and intended for virtualized infrastructure. The virtual-instance format places the appliance in virtualized infrastructure rather than adding a dedicated hardware appliance. Software cryptography is explicitly named for this configuration, making cryptographic implementation a selection criterion. Oracle Database is also named, so database standardization needs to align with Oracle Database. These two technology qualifiers identify the supplied configuration more precisely than the FT5000 family name alone. Within the FT5000 family, this version carries the Commerce designation, virtual-instance format, soft crypto option, and Oracle DB association. Those supplied attributes distinguish it from configurations using a different deployment format, cryptographic implementation, or database association. FT5000VBA specifically pairs all of these attributes in one configuration. That pairing is the key distinction for technical selection. The virtual appliance format remains central to its identity.
