VM-Series on Amazon Web Services Performance and Capacity
View performance and capacity information for the VM-Series on AWS.
Many factors, such as AWS instance size,
maximum packets per second supported, number of cores used, and
AWS placement group, can affect performance.
We recommend additional testing within your environment
to ensure that you meet your performance and capacity requirements.
For a complete listing of all VM-Series features and capacities,
see compare VM-Series firewalls.
The performance and capacities listed in the following table have
been generated under these test conditions:
Firewall throughput is measured with App-ID™ technology
features enabled utilizing 64 KB HTTP 1.1 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 AWS instance type and
connectivity topology.
Threat Prevention throughput is measured with App-ID, User-ID,
IPS, antivirus, and anti-spyware features enabled, utilizing 64
KB HTTP 1.1 transactions.
Tested on instances with AWS Nitro Hypervisor and SR-IOV
and DPDK are enabled.
