Hi SailPoint Community,

We’re seeking guidance on selecting the most appropriate Virtual Appliance (VA) configuration for our environment. We’d like to gain a deeper understanding of the key factors influencing this decision.

To help us confidently advise our client, we’d appreciate insights on the following:

  1. Decision-Making Criteria: What are the critical considerations when choosing between Standard and Network Tunnel VAs? Are there specific use cases that favor one configuration over the other?
  2. Performance Implications: Are there any anticipated performance differences between Standard and Network Tunnel VA configurations?
  3. Management Overhead: How does the ongoing management complexity differ between Standard and Network Tunnel VAs?

Additionally, if there are any best practices or general recommendations you can share regarding VA selection, we’d be grateful to learn from your experience.

Thank you for your time and expertise!

HI Marco, if your client is a new customer, they likely have SASP included as part of their purchase. Please have them reach out to their customer onboarding manager, and they can engage the SASP team in order to have a conversation and help them make the right architectural decisions in that regard.
