Re: VMware Velocloud Edge sizing Sizing

JPScolar1 · ‎10-03-2023

Hello,

What Edge size should I use, a VCE-3800 or a VCE-680, for a VCE-HA hub. I have a network (Hub-Spoke) with 150 branch sites, all of them with 1 Internet connection 25/15Mbps + LTE failover. The Hub has 2 Internet cnxs ( 500Mbps and 200Mbps).

The number of tunnels that the hub will have to support is 150 (sites) * 2 ( HUB WAN connections) = 300 tunnels + 4 tunnels to the SD-WAN gateways. The VCE680 has a 800 Tunnel capacity and an IMIX of 2G, so in paper, a VCE680 seems a good choice, however I wonder if I may run into pereformance problems eventually.

the VCE300 seems a bit of a overkill but for sure it will work.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hello,

I would highly suggest you talk to your VMware partner/reseller.

Their presales engineers will have much more reliable answer than any of us here. Note that this is a new product, with not much information circulating on the web.

VMware Solutions Architech would help you.

As per my experience, I have seen customers using Edge 680 as the Hub for such set ups.

You may either go with a single Edge 680 or can deploy two Edge 680s in cluster.

Thank you.
