IBM Guardium

Dear Team,

We need to deploy a new environment for IBM Guardium. So, we planning deploy 3 collectors and 1 Aggregator.

IBM Guardium

Cluster Infrastructure

Resource requirements :

vCPU – 8               vRAM – 32\48 GB          vHDD – 1 TB         Network  -- eth0 , eth3

S-TAP Communication port –  eth0

Management port –  eth3

Questions :

• Will we need licenses for deploying , or we can assign licenses keys after the deployment
• Can we increase S-TAP buffer memory more than 100 MB
• How I can calculate the size of information (*GB) , received by one of the DB (S-TAP) for 24 hours
• How data will be restore ? via collector or via aggregator ? Also, archiving will via collector or aggregator ?
• We need to use (existing) F5 load balancing for cluster, so can you share any detailed guide , how to install and integrate IBM Guardium with F5 (S-TAP GRID Configuration)
• Or, if we will use Load Balancing S-TAP configuration option ? Which of the this configurations is a better for using ?

Ali,
This set of questions suggest that you should start to cooperate tightly with experienced Guardium implementator.

• Will we need licenses for deploying , or we can assign licenses keys after the deployment

• Can we increase S-TAP buffer memory more than 100 MB

• How I can calculate the size of information (*GB) , received by one of the DB (S-TAP) for 24 hours

• How data will be restore ? via collector or via aggregator ? 

• Also, archiving will via collector or aggregator ?
