Foundation and Cluster Deployment

A customer requests assistance deploying a small, single-VM Prism Central instance in their environment to manage fewer than 100 guest VMs and register to one 5-node cluster. Because of business requirements, the customer also intends to use additional service features within the PC platform.

After discussing this with the customer, the consultant decides to deploy a small 3-VM instance to better accommodate potential resource overhead when the additional services are enabled on the cluster.

The additional services the consultant must enable to meet the customer’s requirements are:

  • Nutanix Disaster Recovery
  • MS-SQL Server Monitoring
  • Flow Microsegmentation
Explanation

A small, three-VM scale-out Prism Central deployment supports this scale and the listed services, but Nutanix Disaster Recovery and Flow add memory overhead to Prism Central. Configuring each of the three small PCVMs with 32 GB of memory provides the required capacity. SQL Server Monitoring is supported on small Prism Central deployments, while Flow Microsegmentation does not inherently require an X-Large five-VM instance.
