Internet Access On-Premises Gateway system sizing recommendations

Views:

View recommended system sizing information for use when deploying the Internet Access On-Premises Gateway.

When deploying the Internet Access On-Premises Gateway, Trend Micro recommends allocating at least 200 GB of disk space for the on-premises gateway to store application and log files. Detection and activity logs are automatically uploaded to Trend Vision One unless uploading is manually disabled. Detection and activity log files are automatically purged from the on-premises gateway when the files are older than seven days or take up a total of 50 GB of disk space. Trend Vision One retains uploaded log files for up to 180 days.

The following tables provide information for use when considering system sizing based on on-premises gateway performance test results.

Note

No services other than the Internet Access On-Premises Gateway were enabled on the Service Gateway virtual appliance during testing.
The number of vCPUs and amount of RAM required to run the Service Gateway firmware are included in the vCPU and RAM totals for each sizing test.
10 Data Loss Prevention templates were enabled and used when the Data Loss Prevention feature was enabled.

System sizing recommendations for on-premises gateways running in proxy server mode under the following conditions:
- Deployment method: VMWare ESXi through a Service Gateway virtual appliance
- Use: Web server traffic protection
- Traffic protocol: HTTPS with HTTPS inspection enabled
- Average traffic size: 17 KB

Important

All performance indexes dropped by approximately five percent when syslog forwarding was enabled.
The recommendations for maximum network throughput and maximum total users are strongly influenced by the average traffic size during testing.
