R82 Standalone setup in Checkpoint 3600 and 3800

[harshasm]

does anyone install R82 in 3600 or 3800 in standalone setup ?

is it to capable for running R82 in 3600 with on-premises management with available hardware resources.  

Thankyou

According to the R82 documentation, Standalone config is supported with the mentioned appliances.

However, I would strongly advise considering a separate management. The appliance HW is quite limited.

Not recommended, you will certainly encounter limitations / performance challenges.

Have you considered Smart-1 Cloud as an option for Management?

Yes, before proposing the Smart-1 , I've to commit its 3800 also not capable for standalone. just because 3800 has 16Gb RAM and 8 physical cores. 

So, I need to know 3800 HW resource is also in risk situation or not as same as the 3600 (8Gb memory and 4 cores)

With 16GB of RAM and 8 cores, a 3800 is probably the bare minimum appliance I would consider running standalone in production.
Whether that's a good idea or not depends on what you expect in terms of throughput/performance.

We have two 3600's running as standalone, it works, however it is slow. We have them running for our Out Of Band management as dial-in VPN. Most of the time the devices are not doing anything, no traffic is passing. 

Memory use on average is 71% and CPU 11%.
