Hello,
We have a single UTM virtual appliance, and I am wondering if anyone else can confirm the performance that they are getting from a UTM virtual appliance?
I have it running on ESXi 5.1 and I have given it 8 cores on a server with an E5430 2.66 processor, along with 8GB of memory.
From what I can tell, it does use all of the cores, but the http proxy service on the utm only uses 2 cores. This is monitored via TOP from the console. I have also been told from support that the linux kernel is 64 bit, but the http proxy service is only 32bit.
We have a 100Mbps internet pipe and about 2000 users at about 8000 connections / sec. This results in 2 cores pinned on the UTM for most of the day, depending on the types of traffic. We are not using ssl scanning at all, just plain old transparent mode/proxy web filtering. No other services other than web filtering and application control.
Thanks,
Dan.
