- Adjustment of the number of users for virtual systems (09.2023)
- System requirement now 3GB RAM
Preamble
As of version 12.3, the requirements for operating the Securepoint NextGen UTM change.
Due to continuous further development and expansion of the protection mechanisms, use is generally recommended with systems of the third generation or newer.
Systems that cannot guarantee requirements for stable operation will automatically reduce the range of functions.
Thus, no virus scanner will be available on systems with less than 3GB memory.
After adjusting the working memory, the service is available again.
The possibility that hardware used in 24/7 operation could fail after many years of use is of course higher than with new hardware.
As a precaution and to maintain the availability of required services, it is advisable to replace hardware at the end of the guarantee period .
Securepoint also offers you the option "Protection Plus" to keep downtime at your customers as low as possible.
Only the hardware provided by us or one of the virtualization environments released by us should be used to operate Securepoint NextGen UTM.
We recommend the use on your own hardware only in combination with a virtualization solution approved by us. Installations on third-party hardware cannot be supported by our technical support.
