HySecure Gateway Sizing for IT Administrators

Introduction

This section helps an IT administrator determine the hardware requirements for HySecure Gateway deployments. Proper sizing ensures optimal system performance and user experience.

Key Sizing Factors for HySecure Gateway

  1. Total User Count:

    • Calculate both the total number of registered users and the maximum number of concurrent users. Example: 1000 total users might have 250 concurrent users at peak times

  2. Access Method Type:

    • Web Browser Access (HyLite Portal): Requires more gateway resources

    • Native Client Access (HySecure/Workspace Client): Requires fewer gateway resources

HySecure Node Types and Functions

HySecure deployments utilize three distinct node types:

  • Active Node: Hosts primary database, handles load balancing functions, and serves user requests.

  • Standby Node: Provides failover capability for high availability and serves user requests.

  • Access Server Node: Processes user requests without database functionality

HySecure Gateway Sizing Requirements

For Native Client Access Deployments

• External load balancer required • 256 GB storage per node

Note:

*For an intermediate number of users, refer to the respective Performance Guidelines for more clarity.

**An external load balancer is required for any number of users in Cloud-based deployments.

HySecure Configuration Performance Guidelines

  1. Native Client-Based Access Performance: Every 250 concurrent users require 1 vCPU of 1 GHz each and 1 GB of RAM.

  2. HyLite Web-Based Access Performance: The HyLite Portal is hosted on the HySecure gateway. So, every 100 concurrent users require four (4) vCPUs of 1 GHz each and 4 GB of RAM.

Resource Calculation Examples

  • Example 1: 500 users with native client access require 2 Config Nodes with 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM each

  • Example 2: 500 users with HyLite web access require 2 Config Nodes + 1 Access Node with 8 vCPU and 64 GB RAM each
