Apstra Flow Scaling Considerations
The Apstra Flow virtual images are available in three sizing options, plus an additional option for creating custom extra-large deployments. Table 1 describes the available sizing options and memory requirements.
*Image Size |
Required Memory Size |
Number of Supported Devices |
---|---|---|
Small Up to 5,000 FPS |
8 vCPU, 32 GB memory, 4 TB disk |
Typically, up to 25 devices at an average of 200 FPS per device. |
Medium Up to 10,000 FPS |
16 vCPU, 64 GB memory, 4 TB disk |
Typically, up to 50 devices at an average of 200 FPS per device. |
Large Up to 15,000 FPS |
24 vCPU, 64 GB memory, 4 TB disk |
Typically, up to 75 devices at an average of 200 FPS per device. |
X-Large (custom) |
N/A |
Greater than 15,000 FPS. Contact your Juniper sales representative for guidance on creating a cluster for a custom deployment. |
*Image size is calculated at an average number of flows per second (FPS) that the collector receives.
