  • 1.  Hardware requirements for Symantec Web Gateway

    Posted Jul 02, 2015 12:49 PM

    I would like to deploy Symantec Web Gateway in each of our office locations. I know that I could buy the 8450 or 8490 appliance, but we already have SEP Enterprise which includes Web Gateway licenses, so we could save quite a bit of money by using our own hardware. What are the hardware requirements for Symantec Web Gateway 5.2.1? Can the appliance version be installed on any other hardware? Has anyone deployed SWG on hardware other than the 8450 or 8490 appliances?

    The only way to use your own hardware is to install ESXi first and deploy the Virtual SWG.  Any other installation not using Symantec hardware is unlikely to be supported (though you can always ask them).

    Also remember that should you choose to go virtual, that any "Inline" configuration is not supported.

    We have very specific hardware we use so you cannot simply deploy this software on a similar device. Virtual is your only option if you do not want to purchase an appliance.

    I would advise opening a new thread so your question gets better visibility. It looks like this thread has been abandoned.
