Hello Guys,
we are a medium-sized Company and new on the Sophos Market. We sold a few Servers and configured and installed the UTM.
We are very happy with this Firewall but iam wondering if this Hardware is not overpowered for our customers.
We built a small Server with these components:
Intel Xeon E3-1220v3
4 Port Intel NIC
Supermicro Board
ECC RAM 8 GB
Customer Size like : 10-30 Clients, 3-7 Servers (TS, DC, Exchange etc./ all MS OS)
Internet: up to 50/10
Using:
- Network Protection with IPS on
- Web protection no Application control
- Mail Protection
- Site to Site VPN
- Remote Access
- no VOIP
Example of Customer Hardware Log:
Monthly CPU usage : Max = 21 % , Average : 2 %
Monthly memory usage: Max: 38 % , Average: 27 %, Swap : 0,2 %
So maybe a Celeron like G1610T or J1900 CPU ? maybe any advice for a barebone ?
Another important topic is monitoring. We are using the GFI Remotemanagement for monitoring. Problem at the moment is that the SNMP MIB from Sophos is only for traps. Traps are not supported with GFI RM. So i have to configure the certain OID to get the value. Most of the time its easy with Mib File and mib Browser but with the UTM its hard without a Description.
We would like to check permanent via SNMP any Critical and Warning Alerts.
Thnak you and Best Regards from Germany
