Plan SDC capacity and host requirements

SDC capacity planning is a deployment strategy that

  • supports approximately 500 devices per SDC, with actual capacity depending on enabled features and configuration file sizes

  • allows unlimited SDCs per Security Cloud Control Firewall Management organization, and

  • ensures each SDC belongs to one organization only and is not shared across organizations.

Multiple SDC deployment benefits

Deploying more than one SDC provides these benefits:

  • Scale device management without performance degradation.

  • Place SDCs in isolated network segments while keeping the devices in the same Security Cloud Control Firewall Management organization.

  • Run multiple SDCs on one host by following the bootstrap procedure for each additional SDC.

The first SDC name includes the tenant name and the number 1. Each additional SDC is numbered in sequence.
