Netris SoftGate HS (Multi-VPC version)

A minimum of 4 dedicated servers are required for an HA (highly available) active-active SoftGate HS cluster. Two SoftGates will forward stateful traffic (SNAT), and two others will forward the stateless traffic (DNAT, 1:1 NAT, Layer-4 Load Balancing, etc.) Each group (stateful and stateless) can be scaled horizontally by deploying more servers as CPU & RAM utilization necessitates.
