ASA-X sizing

alex goshtaei — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 14:35:03 GMT

Hi All,

there are ten sites connected to central site over MPLS and all internet traffic is going through central site.

In central site, we will be deploying ASA-X in cluster (active/active) with Firepower services with all features (IPS, URL, AMP, ...). There are about 1200 PCs total in all sites.

should we go with 5525-X or 5545-X ? is there any doc to explain detail sizing?

thanks

Alex

Click on the tab labelled "Internet Edge."

For what it's worth, I have 160 sites globally that all connect back to a pair of 5520's and I'm fine, so I would think the 5525-X would suffice, but I don't know your exact situation so it is best to consult the comparison chart and discern which one is best for your unique situation.
