RE: [FW1] AntiVirus solution for FW1?



One issue with these products is that they are Memory, CPU and disk pigs!!

Below is the minimum recommended configuration for the email scanner portion
of the software that I received from an engineer at Trend Micro.  In the
documentation, it says these products require 9GB of disk without
quantification based on usage and platform.  I have been testing the product
and I like it, but I do not think I would want to put it on my Firewall
machines.  I would suggest putting it on separate machines, especially if
you have a lot of network traffic and expect the Trend products to be really
busy.


Hardware recommendations based on number of emails per day.

Problem  : What are hardware requirements for Interscan SOLARIS based on
email traffic?
solution : The following table is based on the assumption that less than 20%
of all E-mail messages contain attachments.

E-mails/day Computer(SUN) # processors RAM Hard Disk
1000-3500    Ultra 5 1 64MB 2GB
3000-7000    Ultra 5 1 128MB 2GB
7500-10000   Ultra 1 1 128MB 2GB
10000-20000  Ultra 1 1 128MB 2GB
20000-40000  Ultra 1 1 128MB 2GB
40000-75000  Ultra 2 2 256MB 4GB
75000-100000 Ultra 2 2 512MB 8GB

For other Unix platforms, please use the sizing for Sun and use comparable
systems from those vendors.

Best regards,
