Enterprise customer currently has Harvest deployed with NAbox. Currently awaiting total number of arrays in the enviroment, at present prod and DR is 8 total clusters. Is there a reason they should not proceed further with scaling with NAbox and we should re-deploy to Docker?

There is some loose recommendations here : https://nabox.org/documentation/installation/

#

8 clusters should be fine with NAbox

just to note, I currently have a medium deployment of NAB and it is collecting data from 10 HA clusters and 4 single node clusters without any issue.
it is tracking data for both SAN and NAS clusters as well as DR/replication for most of them

Thanks, @fickle granite, that's also helpful. Currently working with the account team to figure out if we want to keep this deployment with Prod and DR, or if the customer will want a large deployment encompassing their entire environment.

Let me check tomorrow our environment, but what I can say one VMware environment has one NABox instance with 10 clusters and 46 nodes (1x 8 node metro and 2x 4 node metro) collecting around 2500+ NFS volumes. NABox is configured with 12 vCPUs, 24 GB RAM and 1,2 TB disk. Working since almost 2 years, since the NABox 3 was released.

Long story short, big fan of the Harvest and NABox @trim meadow again very good job 😍
