Its not a fixed value: Reasonable is perhaps 20 % greater than the machine (EMCs limits) so there is always headroom for the hardware If these numbers are less than the machine (EMCs) limits you will get following errors > > Tom > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a > definitive record of customers, application performance, security > threats, fraudulent activity and more.
