SGOS 5.2 brings acceleration, security and control on a single release and is the suggested upgrade path for customers running SGOS 4.x versions. Key enhancements include
ICAP trickle, guest users and a new subsystem for managing authenticated users, XML Realms, a new health check framework and DNS transparency. SGOS 5.2 also supports the new Proxy and MACH5 Edition licensing schemes.
Migrating to SGOS 5.2
SGOS 5.2 supports direct upgrade from SGOS 4.2.x or 5.1.4.x.
SGOS 5.2 is supported on the current SG210, SG510, SG810 and SG8100 hardware platforms as well as older SG200, SG400, SG800 and SG8000 platforms. Because SGOS 5.2 contains significant new functionality, upgrading can impact CPU utilization.
If the peak CPU utilization on your system exceeds 65% on SG810/SG800 and lower models, or 70% on SG8100/SG8000 models running SGOS 4.2, contact your Blue Coat representative before upgrading to SGOS 5.2.
For migration options, please contact Blue Coat technical support at
Blue Coat Support Services.
