2V0-32.24 Question 64
Single answerA company is planning to deploy vRealize Log Insight to manage log data from its hybrid cloud environment. The environment consists of 500 ESXi hosts, each generating an average of 10GB of log data per day. Additionally, there are 50 virtual appliances and 20 physical devices generating an average of 5GB and 2GB of log data per day, respectively. The company requires 30 days of retention for compliance purposes. How should you size the vRealize Log Insight deployment to meet the requirements?
- A
Deploy a single-node cluster with 8 vCPUs and 32GB RAM.
- B
Deploy a three-node cluster with each node configured with 16 vCPUs, 64GB RAM, and 2TB storage.
- C
Deploy a two-node cluster with each node configured with 12 vCPUs, 48GB RAM, and 1.5TB storage.
- D
Deploy a three-node cluster with each node configured with 20 vCPUs, 96GB RAM, and 3TB storage.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To size a vRealize Log Insight deployment, it is crucial to calculate the log ingestion rate, retention requirements, and the need for high availability. In this scenario, the total daily log ingestion is approximately 5.6TB (500 ESXi hosts x 10GB + 50 appliances x 5GB + 20 devices x 2GB). For 30 days of retention, the total storage needed is around 168TB. A three-node cluster with each node configured with 16 vCPUs, 64GB RAM, and 2TB storage per node provides sufficient resources to handle the log ingestion rate and retention requirements, while also ensuring performance and high availability.
- A. Incorrect.
A single-node cluster is insufficient for this environment due to the high log ingestion rate and retention requirements. It does not provide high availability or sufficient storage for 30 days of retention.
- B. Correct.
A three-node cluster with each node configured with 16 vCPUs, 64GB RAM, and 2TB storage is appropriately sized based on the log ingestion rate and retention requirements. Each node can handle part of the workload, ensuring performance, scale, and high availability.
- C. Incorrect.
A two-node cluster would not meet the performance and storage requirements for this environment, as it would not provide enough resources or redundancy.
- D. Incorrect.
While a three-node cluster with 20 vCPUs, 96GB RAM, and 3TB storage would meet the requirements, it is over-provisioned for this workload, leading to unnecessary resource consumption.
