These are specified to be both affordable and to deliver high performance. ## Specifications | Parameter | Ax-M2 | AX-J | | --- | --- | --- | | **Primary and** **Secondary usage** | - Connector - Gateway/LogForwarder (only one at a time) | - Controller/Portal/Gateway - LogServer | | **Concurrent Users (GW)** | 100-250 maximum per unit* | 5,000-10,000 maximum per unit* | | **Throughput** | 0.85Gb/s maximum | 50 Gb/s maximum | | **Memory** | 8GB | 16GB | | **CPU(s)x** | 1x Intel® Pentium® J6426 2.0Ghz, 4C | Intel® Xeon® 6 Performance 6517P 3.2G, 16C/32T, 24GT/s, 72M Cache, Turbo, (190W) DDR5-6400 | | **Disk(s)** | 1x SSD SATA 128GB | 480GB SSD SATA Mixed Use 6Gbps 5 12 2.5in Hot-plug AG Drive, 3 DWPD | | **Networkx** | 4x 1Gb RJ45 Ethernet | 4x 1Gb RJ45, 4x 25Gb SFP28 Ethernet (SFP+ supported) ^ | | **Power Supply Unit** | Single external | Dual 800 W redundant hot pluggable | | **Management** | n/a | iDRAC10, Enterprise 17G | | Parameter | Ax-M2 | AX-J | Ax-G7 | Ax-H5 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Primary and** **Secondary usage** | - Connector - Gateway/LogForwarder (only one at a time) | - Controller/PortalGateway - LogServer | - Gateway/Controller - Connector/LogForwarder/LogServer | - Controller/Portal/Gateway - LogServer | | **Concurrent Users (GW)** | 100-250 maximum per unit* | 5,000-10,000 maximum per unit* | 2,000-4,000 maximum per unit* | 4,000-8,000 maximum per unit* | | **Throughput** | 0.85Gb/s maximum | 50 Gb/s maximum | 23Gb/s maximum | 23Gb/s maximum | | **Memory** | 8GB | 16GB | 16GB | 64GB | | **CPU(s)x** | 1x Intel® Pentium® J6426 2.0Ghz, 4C | Intel® Xeon® 6 Performance 6517P 3.2G, 16C/32T, 24GT/s, 72M Cache, Turbo, (190W) DDR5-6400 | 1x Intel® Xeon® E-2488 3.2GHz, 8C/16T | 1 x Intel® Xeon® Gold 6526Y 2.8GHz, 16C/32T | | **Disk(s)** | 1x SSD SATA 128GB | 480GB SSD SATA Mixed Use 6Gbps 5 12 2.5in Hot-plug AG Drive, 3 DWPD | 2x SSD SATA 6G 480GB RAID1 | 2x SSD SATA 6G 480GB Cached RAID1 | | **Networkx** | 4x 1Gb RJ45 Ethernet | 4x 1Gb RJ45, 4x 25Gb SFP28 Ethernet (SFP+ supported) ^ | 2x 1Gb RJ45, 2x 10/25Gb SFP28 Ethernet (SFP+ supported) ^ | 2x 1Gb RJ45 & 4x 10/25Gb SFP28 Ethernet (SFP+ supported) ^ | | **Power Supply Unit** | Single external | Dual 800 W redundant hot pluggable | Dual 700W redundant hot pluggable | Dual 700W redundant hot pluggable | | **Management** | n/a | iDRAC10, Enterprise 17G | iDRAC9, Enterprise 16G | iDRAC9, Enterprise 16G | x Due to component shortages the exact specification may vary from that shown here. * Depends on the number of users and complexity of entitlements. Memory relates to the number of users and the complexity of any associated conditions. CPU relates to their network activity and the frequency of any changes in conditions. > [!NOTE] > NOTE > > Individual users should be able to achieve speeds up to the typical 1GbE interface of a user's device. ^ Ax-J appliances use Intel® E810-XXV network adapters with two or four 10/25Gb SFP28 ports. To use these, SFP28 connector modules need to be added. SFP+ connector modules will also work, but are limited to 10Gb. **These connector modules are not included as they are usually part of the cable assembly. These are standard networking components that need to be purchased locally to suit your switches.** **AppGate** **does not sell or supply these items.** For details see: [25Gb Intel data sheet](https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/184820/intel-ethernet-network-adapter-e810xxvda4-for-ocp-3-0.html). ^ The Ax-J, Ax-G, Ax-H appliances use Intel® E810-XXV network adapters with two or four 10/25Gb SFP28 ports.

A typical layout is shown below. The numbers shown relate to the interface numbers that will be used in [Appliances > System Settings](/v1/docs/system-settings-1). So 1 will appear as `eth1` in the admin UI. ![Diagram showing network ports and power supply units for Ax-J configuration.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e7482ce5-acfa-4c3b-b76c-b6c32472644a/Images/Documentation/axj_diagram.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T21%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-10-26T22%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=s6C8eW8LCqF%2FBBBPBeA7Q%2B2Xoc%2Bm%2BfeqFQfILV0EYGA%3D) ![Diagram showing PSU connections with labeled numbers and positions for configuration.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e7482ce5-acfa-4c3b-b76c-b6c32472644a/Images/Documentation/hw_nics.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T21%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-10-26T22%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=s6C8eW8LCqF%2FBBBPBeA7Q%2B2Xoc%2Bm%2BfeqFQfILV0EYGA%3D)
