What is the required network connection type for DSM and the database?

The required network connection type for the Deep Security Manager (DSM) and the database is a 10 GB LAN connection. This high-bandwidth connection is necessary to ensure efficient communication and data transfer between the DSM and the database, facilitating optimal performance in managing and analyzing security events and configurations across the network.

A 10 GB LAN connection supports a substantial amount of data throughput, which is particularly important for environments that handle large volumes of security-related information and require quick response times. This capability allows for rapid log collection, real-time monitoring, and seamless updates to the security policies across systems, minimizing latency in critical operations.

Other options, such as the 1 GB WAN connection, 100 MB LAN connection, and 5 GB Fiber connection, do not meet the high bandwidth requirements outlined for optimal performance in a comprehensive security management system, which is why they are not the right choice. The recommended network connection must accommodate the demands of a robust security infrastructure, making the 10 GB LAN connection the appropriate selection.
