Cloudguard Network Sizing

mhmdmahdi — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 09:13:14 GMT

Hi everyone,

I just want to know if Check Point have spesific tools to help sizing and deciding which instances/vm recommend for customer cloud environment (like cpsizeme on on-prem network).

If there is no tools spesific for this, are there any recommendation on how to sizing CGNS?

Thank you.

We publish performance guidelines for AWS / AZURE / VMWARE e.g.

Thank you for response.

Yes I understand we have guidelines for performances. I want to know how to sizing and choosing which size of EC2/VM is suitable for customer requirements.

Like on-prem environment, we have cpsizeme that we can use for measuring throughput and at the end help us choosing which appliance model recommend for our customer.

CPSIZE and Appliance sizing tool are both essentially performance related.
