What is the VEN capacity of a 4x2 cluster?

The VEN (Virtual Enforcement Node) capacity in a 4x2 cluster refers to the number of endpoints that the Illumio Core can handle within that cluster configuration. In a 4x2 cluster, which typically consists of 4 VENs working in pairs across 2 availability zones, the system is designed to scale effectively while maintaining high availability.

When a cluster is configured this way, each VEN is able to manage a certain number of endpoints, which, when combined, provides a maximum capacity that can be supported by the entire cluster. The specific capacity of 25,000 endpoints is based on the standard resource allocation for a cluster of this size, allowing for efficient workload distribution and optimal performance across the nodes.

The capacity correlates with how Illumio Core manages security policies and traffic across multiple workloads, ensuring that they can efficiently handle the outlined number of endpoints. Understanding this capacity is crucial for planning and scaling deployments effectively to meet enterprise security needs.
