I have two sg115 appliances deployed. One is the regular 115 and the other is the 115w. I have noticed high base ram usage in utm9 recently. I have for a while now been running sg on my vm as just a router when i noticed than even when in base form( no additional modules...only about 6 firewall rules and about 25 total devices here at the office) ram usage was nearly 25% of 8 gigabytes. Two gigs of ram for a base install? That's nuts. So now anyone who is running anything below an sg115 will not be able to use http proxy as it wants a gig for itself. This means the 105 and lower will begin to dig very very heavily into swap...remember this story with the utm 105-115? I thought you did..:) So now i have to adjust my recommendations. The absolute minimum for SG is now 4 gigs. If you want to run ANY modules you need to start at 8 gigabytes. It goes up from there. I sounded the warning on ram usage more than a year before the sg series launched with ram requirements near what i was saying. Let's see if Sophos will listen and not want more than two years past the needed time to release devices with ram starting at 4 gigs and going up from there.
