Security

Hello

I know is the requirement but the clients wants to know why.

His old clearplass was just using 50GB and he doesnt know why he would need going from 500GB to 1 TB for a new clearpass installation.   The recommened before was 500GB and he wasnt even using 1/4 of it.

i could think if he was using maybe all features  which he is not, he is just using it for guest.   But he wants a reply from aruba for this 

Can anyone from Product and development asnwer me this ? the real reason behind this? i mean if its possible to know this information. 

Cheers.

Another reason is that ClearPass is a security product that use disk encryption, encrypted disks cannot be extended later on without re-install the appliance. Because ClearPass is also a critical component in the infrastructure you dont want that the disk usage increase to the disk limits in the future.

I agree many customers have difficulty with the high disk requirements. Aruba product developers should take a look if its possible to lower the requirements. Through a hypervisor appliance there are several other ways to quickly restore a full backup.
