Hello,

We have two pairs of Symantec Proxy SWG VA100 and CAS-V100 virtual appliances installed on VMWare.
Are you able to suggest any new replacement products for these implementations. 

BR,

Heikki A.

Hello,
please buy the WPS-Lisence (Web-Protection-Suite) - you will need at least 5 Lisences to replace these two systems.

Proxy:

Model       Forward Proxy Licensed Client Ips Active Connections CPU Cores Memory Storage Capacity
        Employee Count Recommended Internet BW Maximum Internet BW Max Unique Client IPs Active Concurrent (For VAs, S/M/L)   (For VAs, S/M/L) Drives Total (GB)
SG-VA-C1 S M L 700-3K 100 Mbps 200 Mbps No limit 3.5K 9K 15K 1 4 6 8 GB 2 200

CAS:

Model Virtual Virtual Total  Recommended  Estimated Throughput Mbps*  Recommended ProxySG VA Model
CPUs Memory Storage  Virtual Drive  1 vs 2 AV
  (GB) (GB) Configuration  
CAS-VA-C4S 4 8

200

2x100GB 100 100 C1S(1x4)


So Proxy 1 CPU and CAS 4 CPUs = 5 WPS-Lisences

Important: Virtual Proxys/CAS need 2 Data-Drives. So while your old Servers may have 1*100 GB HDD - the new ones need 2*100 GB HDD 
When you own the WPS-License you can download the OVF Files. 

You need to buy as many WPS licenses as users use the system. 
If you have 50 employees and want to buy only 5 licenses, talk to your account manager.
If you buy 50 WPS licenses, then you can equip the proxy and CAS with more CPUs and RAM if you want.

Best regards,
Klaus

Dear Heikki,

as @Klaus Klinge wrote you need Web-Protection. This product is licensed per user. So you buy licenses for as many users as your company has and you can install as many proxies and CAS as needed (and you clould also use the cloud proxy service as well).

Best regards, Matthias
