Capacity Planning for PRA session recordings

Question

Hi Everyone.

A client is asking details around capacity planning for session recordings in PRA. I tried to dig out BT documents around this but couldn’t find any appropriate information.
If anyone could help me out with this info, that would be great. Thanks!

Average/Peak recording bitrate per session
- Average and peak data generated by each recorded session (Mbps or MB/min).
Daily storage growth
- Daily storage consumption for session recordings.
- Please provide the calculation (Average recording size × Number of recorded sessions per day) or historical storage usage data over several days

Capacity margin (preferably N-1)

Please demonstrate that sufficient storage capacity is available even if one storage component fails (N-1 capacity).

Confirmation that the 1 Gbps NIC is sufficient

Please confirm that the 1 Gbps network interface is adequate and will not become saturated under peak screen-sharing and session-recording workloads.

Saahiti, thanks for the inquiry.Unfortunately, this is nearly impossible to calculate storage requirements due to many factors and the unknown of your VM resources that are allocated.Recordings vary and are dependent upon the length of the session and what’s being done in that session.The appliance will hold 90 days of recordings, granted enough storage space is assigned.You have the option of off-loading recordings to a file share using the Integration Client.See KB on storage -https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0022396See documentation on Integration Client -https://docs.beyondtrust.com/rs/docs/integration-clientHope this helps,Todd
