Sizing for ASM
Hi All,
Does anyone have a tool to sizing ASM?
ASM will base on Layer 7, so I will not be the same in spec of datasheet,
Trust me that for a WAF, you don't want to perform a sizing decision based on best case scenario numbers that can be reproduced in a lab with benchmark testing gear. These numbers are good to show some capabilities, (capabilities that sometimes even not relevant for any real use case) not for sizing.
Web Application Firewall performance mainly depends on the following parameters which most are are highly affected by the application itself
1. Response size
2. Request size
3. Application/server response latency
4. Policy in use
5. Number of simultaneous connections
6. Logging profile
7. SSL key length in use
F5 partners and sales reps wil help you to make a good decision.
Thanks Ido,
For the details provided for sizing of WAF/ASM.
But let's say I have all these details mentioned above.
Please help me, how to use thses details to do calculation?
