Software & Hardware requirements for SMS

[Imad981]

Hello everyone ,

I am asking the software and hardware requirement for deploying sms as virtual machine .

I was searching in the documentation but I didn't find any mention of this . I just found the requirements for cloudguard network security .

Thanks for help .

This obviously depends on the version you will installing. For R82 look in the Release Notes:

For Open Server requirements:

I would also recommend looking at the relevant section in our HCL (Hardware Compatibility List):

Minimum requirements aren't typically helpful in my opinion, refer to the Smart-1 datasheet as a guide for the equivalent hardware spec based upon the number of gateways to be managed and adjust accordingly.
