[Chakuttha Riyaphan]

Dear All

   I would like information about Sizing guide of ProxySG and ASG for Deployments latest version.

Thank you so much for kindly to share.

Interested in this as well since intercepting SSL connections is getting common and sizing based on concurrent users and sessions is not enough.

Hi Chakuttha,

 

             Can you check this with one of our SE for your region. I do have a local copy but it is showing date of 2016 and not sure whether it can be shared publicly.

Dear Aravind,

  Thank you so much.

Dear Chakuttha, If you are an authorized partner of Symantec, you will get the same from Partner Portal under Secure Web Gateway and Advanced Secure Gateway. You may navigate to partners.bluecoat.com for this. Thank you. Best Regards, Priyesh MP Sr. Technical Specialist Softcell Technologies Limited

Hi Team,

1. What’s the current traffic SSL interception throughput – Show me where I can find in the box

2. What’s the maximum SSL interception throughput this model can support – please share me the value 

model: SG 900-10B

Thanks,

Ram

Hi Ram,

The 900-10B's stated MAX  IMIX throuput (from the latest sizing guide, which I have confirmed is still accurate as nothing has changed) is 150 Megs, with 75 Megs being the "Recommended" average bandwidth usage. They go on to define this as:

"Typical bandwidth range, at 70% peak CPU load with complex policies, 40% SSL, ICAP, content filtering, the average over any time interval. The administrator can configure the ProxySG to either bypass access logging and limited streaming content."

This tells you the 900-10B can handle ~30Megs, (40% of 75) and in my experience it can do around 60 (but not much more).

Remember:

Encrypted traffic is on average 55% of a given links' overall traffic and expected to rise 10% YoY

Symantec does sell a dedicated Decrypt Box (the SSL Visibility or SV units). The smallest reasonably priced and supports 250 Megs of encrypted throughput. This completely takes the decrypt load off the Proxy (and is easier and more granular to configure encrypted traffic management).

Hope this helps
