VM-Series on Google Cloud Platform Performance and Capacity
Learn the latest performance and capacity numbers for the VM-Series firewall on GCP.
Many factors—such as the shared tenancy
of a public cloud environment, GCP instance size, and the number
of cores—can impact performance. The performance and capacities
listed below have been generated using the indicated GCP instance
size, support for DPDK, and the following test conditions:
The VM-Series is deployed on GCP as a firewall between
clients and servers in the same availability zone and region. Throughput
is measured based on bidirectional traffic sent and received by
the VM-Series.
Threat Prevention throughput is measured with App-ID, User-ID,
IPS, antivirus, and anti-spyware features enabled, utilizing 64
KB HTTP transactions.
IPsec VPN is measured with App-ID™ enabled and performance is tested between a
pair of VM-Series firewall instances in a placement group deployed within the
same availability zone and region. The performance will vary based on GCP
instance type and connectivity topology.
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.
