How many VENs can a standard 2x2 cluster support?

A standard 2x2 Illumio cluster can support a maximum of 10,000 Virtual Endpoint Nodes (VENs). This capacity is determined by the architectural design of Illumio's clustering technology, ensuring that the system can efficiently manage the workload associated with monitoring and enforcing security policies for a significant number of endpoints.

The scalability of the cluster allows organizations to deploy and manage security measures across a variety of endpoints without compromising performance. The capability to support up to 10,000 VENs in a 2x2 configuration is particularly important for companies with a large number of applications or services that require protection and oversight.

Understanding this limit is essential for effective infrastructure planning and deployment strategies, as it sets the groundwork for how many endpoints an organization can realistically oversee with that specific cluster configuration. This makes it a crucial piece of information for those working with Illumio’s security solutions.
