Service Gateway requires the following minimum specifications.

The Service Gateway virtual appliance supports local deployment on VMware ESXi 6.5, 6.7, 7.0, or 8.0, and on Windows Server 2019 and 2022 with Hyper-V enabled, as well as cloud deployments on AWS and Azure. Service Gateway does not support deployment as a nested virtual machine.
The Service Gateway virtual appliance supports two types of appliance specifications to choose from, depending on predicted traffic usage:
  • Standard image: 12 CPUs, 16 GB memory, 500 GB storage
  • Minimal image: 8 CPUs, 12 GB memory, 200 GB storage

When configuring multiple services, you must allocate the minimum virtual CPU and virtual memory requirement per service to ensure proper functionality.
For example, to configure a Service Gateway with the minimum requirements for both TippingPoint log forwarding and TippingPoint policy management (rounding up to logical units):
  • Virtual CPUs: 1 + 0.5 = 2 CPUs
  • Virtual memory: 2 GB + 786 MB = 3 GB

Note
Note
  • The virtual CPUs require a minimum speed of 2.3 GHz with hyper-threading support, Virtualization Technology (VT), and 64-bit architecture.
  • System requirements for services do not include firmware. When estimating requirements, add firmware to the services you want to use.
    For example, the minimum system requirements for a virtual appliance with ActiveUpdate is 3 virtual CPUs (2 + 1) and 6 GB virtual memory (4 + 2) in total.
  • Before upgrading to Service Gateway 3.0, ensure that your system meets the minimum architecture requirements. Service Gateway 3.0 supports the following architectures:
    • AMD or Intel 64-bit (x86-64-v2 and later)
    • ARM 64-bit (ARMv8.0-A and later)
    • IBM Power Systems Little Endian (POWER9 and later)
    • IBM Z 64-bit (z14 and later)
