VM-Series on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Performance and
Capacity
Many factors—such as the shared tenancy
of a public cloud environment, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
instance shape — can impact performance. The performance and capacities
listed below have been generated using the indicated Oracle Cloud
instance shape, support for DPDK, and the following test conditions:
The VM-Series is deployed on Oracle Cloud as a firewall
between clients and servers in the same region. Throughput is measured
based on bidirectional traffic sent and received by the VM-Series.
Firewall throughput is measured with App-ID™ and User-ID™
technology features enabled, utilizing 64 KB HTTP transactions.
Threat Prevention throughput is measured with App-ID, User-ID,
IPS, antivirus, and anti-spyware features enabled, utilizing 64
KB HTTP transactions.
Connections per second are measured with 1 byte HTTP transactions.
We recommend additional testing within your environment to ensure
your performance and capacity requirements are met. For a complete
listing of all VM-Series features and capacities, please see
compare VM-Series firewalls.
