Server and operating system
- A server or a PC that is always on with:
- Microsoft® Windows® 10 64-bit, Server 2012 SP1, Server 2016, and Server 2019
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or CentOS 7
- At least 2 core and 4GB of RAM
- 2GB hard disk space
EcoStruxure IT Gateway was tested on Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit, Server 2012 SP1, Server 2016, and Server 2019; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; and CentOS 7.
The application takes 800MB of disk space, and the server retains a maximum of 8 days of data, about 128MB per day.
Support for CentOS 8 is ending
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) recently announced that no further operating system updates will be available for CentOS 8 after December 31, 2021. As of now, updates and security patches for CentOS 7 will be available through June of 2024.
If you installed the Gateway on CentOS 8, you should replace it with CentOS 7.
Back up your Gateway installation on CentOS 8 first, then restore it on the CentOS 7 system.
CentOS 8 backup and CentOS 7 restore has been tested and is recommended.
Future operating system support for EcoStruxure IT Gateway is currently under investigation.
Scale for small, medium, and large installations
| Size | Number of devices* | Number of sensors | RAM | CPU | Size on disk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 250 | 34,000 | 4GB | 2 | 128MB per day |
| Medium | 2000 | 270,000 | 8GB | 8 | 512MB per day |
| Large | 5000 | 540,000 | 16GB | 24 | 1.1GB per day |
* The recommended number of supported devices is significantly lower when the majority of monitored devices use SNMPv3 to communicate.
Firewall
- Port 443 TCP outbound
- To connect using static IP addresses, add:
- 40.84.62.190

If your firewall blocks the Gateway default ports, or any non-default ports you specified, you must add firewall exceptions for these ports. See Gateway default ports
DNS
A DNS server must be defined for the network that connects to EcoStruxure IT.
Make sure your Gateway can resolve us.struxureon.com and us.ecostruxureit.com via DNS.

Security certificate
When you launch the EcoStruxure IT Gateway, the browser might display a message that the connection is not secure. Since the application is installed on the local machine, the security certificate used by localhost is a self signed certificate. It is safe to add an exception to your browser for https://localhost.
