System Requirements for DMZ Gateway v3.x

It is possible for DMZ Gateway to function with other operating systems, software, and hardware, but has only been tested with the systems listed below.

  • EFT and DMZ Gateway cannot be installed on the same computer/image, but must be installed no more than one network “hop” away with an average network latency no greater than 50ms, with zero percent packet loss, and normal packet flow. Refer to https://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle11447.aspx for more information.

  • The Accelerate module/FAST protocol is not supported on Linux versions of DMZ Gateway.

DMZ Gateway 3.5:

  • Supported operating systems:

    • Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)

    • Windows Server 2012 R2 (requires GUI component) - 64-bit (there is no 32-bit version)

    • CentOS (latest)

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 64-bit Kernel: 3.10.0-514

    • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.2 64-bit (SP2) (requires you to be logged in as "root" to launch the DMZ Gateway administration interface)

    • Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

    • Amazon Linux AMI 2017.03.1 64-bit  (Admin console is not supported)

  • 2 CPUs

  • 200 MB hard drive space for the application (No data is ever stored on the DMZ Gateway computer, not even temporarily.)

  • 1GB available RAM

  • 1280x800 resolution or higher display (headless computer supported on non-Windows systems)

  • The DMZ Gateway installer installs the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE); you do not need to update or maintain the JRE. (The installer uses the latest version at the time the installer is built. Refer to the release notes to see which version was installed.)

  • Remote administration must be available.

  • DMZ Gateway v3.5 requires EFT v7.4 and later. DMZ Gateway v3.5 will work with EFT v7.3 for basic functionality, but the EFT v7.4-specific features added to DMZ Gateway v3.5 are not available in EFT v7.3.

DMZ Gateway v3.4:

  • DMZ Gateway v3.4 accepts coming connections from EFT v7.3.0 and later

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (requires GUI component) - 64-bit (there is no 32-bit version)

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions) - 64-bit (as of the R2 release there is no 32-bit version)

  • Linux/Ubuntu installers are not available for DMZ Gateway v3.4.

  • 2 CPUs

  • 200 MB hard drive space for the application (No data is ever stored on the DMZ Gateway computer, not even temporarily.)

  • 1GB available RAM

  • 1024x768 resolution or higher display (headless computer supported on non-Windows systems)

  • The DMZ Gateway installer installs the Java Runtime Environment (JRE); you do not need to update or maintain the JRE. (The installer uses the latest version at the time the installer is built. Refer to the release notes to see which version was installed.)

  • Remote administration must be available.

DMZ Gateway v3.3.2:

  • EFT v6.4 and later

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions) - 64-bit (as of the R2 release there is no 32-bit version)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (requires GUI component) - 64-bit (there is no 32-bit version)

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 6.6 also termed Update 6, 14 October 2014 (kernel 2.6.32.504) - 32-bit and 64-bit

  • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server release 12 - 32-bit and 64-bit

  • Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS - 32-bit and 64-bit

  • On Solaris and Linux-based systems (DMZ Gateway 3.3.x and earlier), the administration interface will operate locally; therefore, if running on a headless operating system, you must:

    • Export the display to a remote X-Server to access the user interface.

    • Make available on the DMZ Gateway computer the subset of X11 libraries necessary for exporting the display.

    • Properly configure a remote X11 server.

    • Alternatively, the DMZ Gateway may be manually configured without the use of the administration interface.

DMZ Gateway  v3.3.1.2:

  • Works with v6.4 if you are not using IPv6

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter editions)

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 6.4 (updated 4, 2013-02-21 (kernel 2.3.32-358)[16])

  • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server release 11 SP3

  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  • Solaris 11 5.11

DMZ Gateway v3.3.1.1 and prior:

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 32-bit and 64-bit (IPv6 is not supported in this OS)

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter editions)

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 6.3

  • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server release 11 SP2

  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  • Solaris 11 5.11

The command-line parameter /NOREQS can be used if installing at a command line. If specified, the installer will skip checking of for the minimum OS prerequisite that occurs during initial installer launch. This setting is mainly used for debugging purposes or when the checks have errors that are preventing a valid install in the field. Only check #1 for minimum OS is available for DMZ Gateway. Refer to "Silent Command-Line Installation" in the EFT help documentation for more information.

“Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” must be installed on the operating system. If you are using “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6),” “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” may be disabled instead of uninstalled. (In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, clear the check box next to “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”.) It is OK to have them both enabled at the same time.
