Maximum throughput of Virtual Sophos

Jonas Keller

I want to setup a virtual Sophos XG on VMware ESXi 6.7 which is running on a Cisco C220 M4 Rackserver (2x E5-4660 2.30Ghz | 128 GB RAM | OS is running an SSD) It has a 10Gb/s Connection for WAN and LAN.

The Sophos VM has 40 vCPUs and 100 GB RAM. What kind of throughput can I expect. Or differently... how much of my 10Gb/s speed am I going to loose.

    Hi,

    from previous posts you are using a home licence

    1/. assign 4 real CPUS and lock them to the XG

    2/. assign 6gb of RAM and lock that to the XG

    3/. make sure the disks are assigned to the XG

    4/. make sure the NICs are correctly configured and assigned exclusively to the XG

    5/ tune the IPS and DOS settings, the default settings will limit your throughput.

    If you tune the IPS settings then you should not loose much if any on an individual connection and if you have many connections then you should attain the 10gb/s throughput.

    These are my settings which are way from standard on the DOS part of IPS>

    Use these as a starting point.
