TMWS provides two
types of gateway deployment: virtual gateway and on-premises gateway. You can add
and manage
them based on the product license you have.
These gateways can be used in policy configuration and log query
to monitor and analyze users' web activities. You can modify and delete gateways on
the TMWS management console.
NoteFor the Standard license, a maximum of 50 on-premises
gateways is supported. To deploy more on-premises gateways in your organization, purchase
an Advanced license, or you can purchase an
add-on license to upgrade your service to the Advanced
(Standard plus add-on) license.
