|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NSX Edge Small | 4 GB | 2 | 200 GB | 11 or later (vSphere6.0 or later) | Proof-of-concept deployments only. Note:L7 rules for firewall, load balancing and so on are not realized on a Tier-1 gateway if you deploy a small sized NSX Edge VM. |
| NSX Edge Medium | 8 GB | 4 | 200 GB | 11 or later (vSphere6.0 or later) | Suitable when only L2 through L4 features such as NAT, routing, L4 firewall, L4 load balancer are required and the total throughput requirement is less than 2 Gbps. |
| NSX Edge Large | 32 GB | 6 | 200 GB | 11 or later (vSphere6.0 or later) | Suitable when only L2 through L4 features such as NAT, routing, L4 firewall, L4 load balancer are required and the total throughput is 2 ~ 10 Gbps. It is also suitable when L7 load balancer, for example, SSL offload is required.See Scaling Load Balancer Resources in the NSX-T Data Center Administration Guide.
