vIPS Probe scalability

The Controller supports up to 10,000 vIPS Probe connections per Controller.

The results are based on the following test conditions:

  • Controller type: External Controller

  • Cloud platform: AWS

  • Instance type: c4.xlarge (4 core VCPU, 8GB memory) or equivalent

Note

In the event of a large deployment with more than 200 vIPS Probes, Trellix recommends you deploy an External Controller.
