How do I get the most performance out of SecurityGateway?
There is a number of ways to make sure SecurityGateway is performing at its best: While SecurityGateway requires at least 512 megs of RAM, we recommend 2 gigs or more, especially if the server is going to see a lot of traffic. Also, a dual- or quad-core processor is recommended. Consider setting SecurityGateway to save message-logs and backups to a different drive than the one which SecurityGateway is installed on. You may change the directories SecurityGateway uses for different features under Setup / Users in the bottom-left corner, then Directories on the left. Likewise, setting up SecurityGateway on a separate drive from the operating system will help improve performance. Use caution when increasing the amount of information that SecurityGateway records in its logs, and how long it retains information, as that can both increase the amount of disk-space used, and the amount of CPU processing power needed to filter messages.
