Endpoint Security Scalability and Sizing Guide

Is there a newer version of the Endpoint Security Scalability and Sizing Guide (last one is from 2013)?
from sk117536 - R77.30.03 Release Notes mentions only minimum requirements while R80.20 Release notes don't mention any information about Endpoint Security Management Server
What are the system requirements for new installation of Endpoint Security Management Server for a deployment of ~1500- 2000 users for SandBlast Agent?

Endpoint and Network Management use similar resources.

The general sizing guidance is to size it similar to gateways, dividing the number of endpoints by 100.

So, for 2000 endpoints, you'd size management for 20 gateways.

That would mean either a Smart-1 525 or equivalent, which has 32GB-64GB of RAM and four processor cores.

If you're planning to use SmartEvent as well, more RAM/CPUs will be a good idea.
