Use this guide to plan your Websense software deployment before installation. The guide provides an overview of how Websense software can be deployed in a network, as well as operating system and hardware requirements.
This guide applies to version 7.5 of Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere, Web Security Gateway, Websense Web Security, and Websense Web Filter. The term Websense software is used to refer to all or any of these solutions. When information or instructions apply to particular solutions, they are referred to individually by name.
Websense software consists of components that work together to monitor Internet requests, log activity, apply Internet usage filters, and report on activity. Websense software is highly-distributable, providing the flexibility to scale a deployment to suit your needs. Components can be installed together on one machine for smaller organizations; or they can be distributed across multiple machines, and multiple sites, to create a high-performing deployment for larger organizations. The appropriate deployment is determined by network size and configuration, Internet request volume, hardware performance, and filtering needs.
This manual provides system recommendations to optimize Websense component performance. Performance can also be improved by using more powerful machines for resource-intensive components.
