How do i calculate the number of Users?
  • Endian Firewall Community has no user limitation at all, it only depends on the performance of the hardware it runs on. Although we recommend to use Endian Firewall Community only in small network environments that aren't critical for your business, due to the lack of professional support and centralized updates.
  • Endian UTM Hardware Appliances (Mini, Mercury, Macro, Macro X2) have no limitation of the number of Users or IPs. They can be used with any number of Users/PCs/IPs, the limitation is only given by the performance of the hardware. For each Hardware Appliance there is a number of "suggested Users" that can be used as a reference. Performance will vary depending on network environment and configuration (activated proxies, VPN connections, IDS and Application Level Filters).
  • Endian UTM Software Appliances have a licensing based on the number of Users in your network. "Users" includes workstations, clients, servers and devices that communicate through the firewall to reach the Internet. It also includes VPN connections from remote VPN clients ("road warriors") and from remote VPN gateways (each remote gateway counts as one user). The number of Users is monitored but not limited. If your network exceeds the number of Users the Software Appliance will continue to work, but you'll be notified that the maintenance subscription needs to be upgraded and aligned with the new number of Users. If the number of Users is exceeded for more than one month the maintenance subscription will be suspended, disabling access to Endian Network, Updates and Endian support services.
