System requirements for UTM installations
Last adaptation to the version: 11.8.12 03.2021
- New:
- Note for devices of Generation 1 (before 2012) v12
- Changes for systems with less than 3GB RAM
- Link to port allocation added
- Hardware supplemented by special edition RC340
- Support for KVM-based systems
- Changes for systems with 1 core
Previous versions: 11.8
Preamble
Due to the constant technical development and the addition of new features, with which Securepoint asserts itself against current and future threats, the demands on the hardware to be used of Securepoint NextGen UTM are obviously increasing.
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.
System requirements
Supported Hardware
The following minimum requirements must be achieved in order to use the current UTM software.
- CPU: min. 1GHz ( If only 1 core is available, only the Cyren virus scanner is activated instead of 2 independent virus scanners for performance reasons.)
- RAM: min. 1GB (If less than 3 GB RAM is available, only the Cyren virus scanner is activated for performance reasons.)
- Hard disk (system): min. 4GB
It is not possible to install version 12 on Generation 1 devices.
The system will not boot under v12 due to lack of 64-bit support.
Operation under v11 may be possible with Generation 1 devices, but is not recommended and not supported.
The operation of the current UTM software 12.6.2 has been tested on the following models and approved accordingly:
