    Hi;

    If you look at this screen-shot above, which is taken from page 16 of the "Initial Configuration Guide for SWG VA High-Performance Models", you will see all the Proxy SG virtual appliance models, their recommended virtual CPUs, but not the recommended user count for each model.

    My question is: Is there a guide, which shows each of these models VS a recommended number of users? 


    Kindly
    Wasfi

    Hi Wasfi,

    There is not a public facing document that has the user count. If you get in touch with your Sales Team / Partner, they should be able to answer any specifics you have.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Proxy ASG licensing depends upon number of active sessions and we assume that each user used 10 sessions simultaneously.

    You can refer sizing guide  in partner portal.

    Dear Wasfi,

    You will get this details from ProxySG Sizing Guide. As Mr. Jacob rightly mentioned, sizing guides are not publicly available. Hence if you're not a Broadcom Partner, please reach out to your B'com Partner or B'com System Engineer/Sales Engineer (SE). Alternately if you need to know about any specific model that you are currently using, please mention the model number here, so that we can help you with the required information.

    Thank you.

    Hi Wasfi, it has been mentioned below but just to reiterate...... It is not user count that is the metric you need to be concerned with it is concurrent sessions that affects a proxy and that is going to vary for each client. For example a heavy Microsoft online customer will have significantly higher Sessions per user than a client using primarily on-premise solutions. 

    The firewall logs are a good place to start calculating the sessions per user and work out your requirements from there and plan to go to a bigger Proxy than the minimum required  to cover your use case. Also depending on your use case for a on-premise proxy, WSS may be a suitable alternative that as SaaS will continue to scale as your user count grows.

    Forgot to add... Once you have the Session numbers then your reseller or Broadcom rep can give you a recommendation.
