Secure Connect Gateway 5.x — Virtual Edition Support Matrix

PDF

System requirements

The system requirements to deploy and use secure connect gateway vary depending on:

  • The number of devices to be monitored.
  • The secure connect gateway functionality that you want to use—only collect telemetry or monitor devices and collect telemetry.

The following table provides the number of devices you can monitor using secure connect gateway based on the device type or model:

Table 1. Number of devices based on device type or modelThe following table provides the number of devices you can monitor using secure connect gateway based on the device type or model:
Device type or model Number of devices you can monitor using secure connect gateway
  • Server or hypervisor
  • Chassis
  • Networking
  • iDRAC
  • Fluid File System (FluidFS)
  • PeerStorage (PS) or EqualLogic
  • Storage Center (SC) or Dell Compellent
  • PowerVault
  • Web-Scale
  • Software
  • Virtual Machines
8000
  • Data protection
  • Data storage devices other than Fluid File System (FluidFS), EqualLogic, Dell Compellent, and PowerVault.
  • Converged or hyperconverged infrastructure appliances other than Web-Scale.

The following table provides the minimum system requirements to deploy and use secure connect gateway:

Table 2. Recommended minimum system requirements to deploy and use secure connect gatewayThe following table provides the minimum system requirements to deploy and use secure connect gateway.
Number of devices Monitor and collect telemetry Number of processor cores Installed memory (RAM) Hard drive space
1-50 Yes 4 16 GB 140 GB
51–4250 Yes 8 16 GB 140 GB
4251–8250 Yes 8 16 GB 140 GB1
NOTE: While installing secure connect gateway using containers, the system must have a free disk space of 140 GB, of which a minimum of 10 GB must be allocated for the following directories depending on the container:
  • Docker—/var/lib/docker directory.
  • Podman — defined directory in <volumePath> from the podman info command.
  • Kubernetes—defined directory in <PV.yaml file>.

1—if you want secure connect gateway to collect telemetry on a weekly basis and purge the collected telemetry based on the number of days since the telemetry was collected, it is recommended to allocate 250 GB hard drive space when you deploy or install secure connect gateway. So, if you want secure connect gateway to collect telemetry on a weekly basis, it is recommended to purge the collected telemetry based on the size of the total collected telemetry.

You can manually initiate single and multiple device collections. However, you can only select up to 100 devices for a multiple device collection. A multiple device collection performed for deployment, system maintenance, or consulting purposes may result in high system resource utilization at irregular intervals.

The following table provides the minimum system requirements to collect telemetry:

NOTE:Ensure that the hard drive space required to collect telemetry is available in the total hard drive space that is assigned for the appliance.
Table 3. Minimum system requirements to collect telemetryThe following table provides the minimum system requirements to perform collections:
Number of devices Number of processor cores Installed memory (RAM) Hard drive space
1 4 16 GB 10 GB
2-30 4 16 GB 10 GB
31-50 4 16 GB 40 GB
51-100 8 16 GB 60 GB
