Palo Alto Networks Exam PSE-DataCenter Topic 1 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's PSE-DataCenter exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 1

A network covers three geographical areas: Americas, Europe (EMEA), and Asia (APAC). The APAC segment of the network consists of nine HA pairs of PA-3060 firewalls, generating a combined log output of 25 K logs per second. Only 14 days of traffic log retention is required.

Which management and logging solution will be effective and cost-efficient for this segment of the network?

ATwo M-500s in HA management at the global level, with one M-100 with 4 TB of storage for APAC

BTwo M-500s in HA management at the global level, and one log collector-mode M-500 with 8 TB of storage for APAC

CTwo M-500s in HA management at the global level, and two log collector-mode M-500s in a log collector group with 16 TB of storage for APAC

DTwo Dual-mode M-500s in HA for both global management and storage. Each M-500 has 8 TB of storage

25K logs per second? Sheesh, that's a lot of data! I hope the IT team in charge of this network has a good sense of humor, because they're going to need it to keep up with all those logs.

Logging and storage can be a real pain, but at least they're providing some juicy details to work with here. I bet the correct answer will be the one that makes the most efficient use of the available hardware.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I wonder if the exam writers are trying to throw in a curveball with all these M-500 options. I better double-check the specs on each model to make sure I don't miss anything.

The image of the network topology is helpful in visualizing the setup. I'm leaning towards option C as it seems to address the high log output and storage requirements for the APAC segment.

The question seems straightforward, and the options provide a good range of solutions. I'll need to carefully analyze the network requirements and storage needs to determine the most effective and cost-efficient solution.
