    New Aruba customer here.  Looking to deploy ClearPass on vSphere 6.5.  According to my environment (up to 5,000 devices) these are my system requirements/recommendations. 

     

    All seems well, but 1TB of storage?  Never have I seen a VA ask for 1TB of storage.  What in the world could this product actually be storing?  And what is actual data consumption look like in a production environment of a similar size.

     

    CP-VA-5K

    -8 Virtual CPU

    -Disk space:

                -500 GB for existing deployments

                -1000 GB recommended for new deployments

    -8GB RAM

    -2 GB virtual switched ports

    Logs, logs and more logs.  

     

    ClearPass is a hog - it will use a lot of CPU and disk.  We have 9000 simultaneous clients on peak days on the 25k appliance.
