Deploy the SMC
When the Secure SD-WAN Engine launch is complete, deploy the SMC.
Before you begin
All configuration information for the Secure SD-WAN Engines is stored on the Management Server component of the SMC. The Secure SD-WAN Engines continue to operate normally even when the Management Server is unreachable, so there is no interruption to any network services.
To deploy the SMC on your own hardware, you must have a computer with a 64-bit Linux operating system, such as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. For compatible operating systems, see the Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Manager Console Release Notes .
If you deploy the SMC in an instance on AWS, we recommend using the M4.xlarge instance type. If the SMC manages a large number of Secure SD-WAN Engines, the M4.2xlarge or M4.4xlarge instance types might provide improved performance. Use a 64-bit Linux operating system, such as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and a 64-bit JRE. For compatible operating systems, see the Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Manager Console Release Notes .
