Resources - at what point to upgrade HW?

Louis-M over 8 years ago

At what point would you look at upgrading hardware on SG UTM's assuming you can't offload any functions?

eg memory usage constantly @ 30% etc, CPU @ 10% ??

Depends on what complaints are coming in...

Lets say no complaints or nobody has bothered to complain. But when would you start to become concerned or suspect that things may start to struggle a little?

I don't think there's a rule of thumb for this. My personal experience is: constant and increasing swap usage + high CPU usage peaks = time to upgrade hardware. Swap usage starts getting high with 65%+ memory usage, so that would be a troubling warning sign for me. This was very common for older UTM hardware, but I don't think you'll see such issues with a SG hardware, unless it's been (very) wrongly sized to your environment.
