Hi,
In the installation guide for 2.4, we had clear numbers on how many pxgrid nodes etc were supported per deployment model. For 2.6 this does not seem to be listed. Is this information available anywhere?
(See pictures below)

If you want to support 50k endpoints then you have to use 3695 nodes, or a dedicated deployment with more 3655 nodes.
In a standalone 1-2 node deployment you can scale to a max of 50k endpoints with two 3695's. You could host all personas on these and have 50k HA support. You can also run pxgrid on both of these in a limited deployment, ~30 total connections.
In a hybrid deployment between 3 and 7 nodes, you can still only scale to 50k endpoints with 3695's.
In the hyrbid scenario, you would have 2x 3695 doing pan/mnt functions, then could have 2 x 3655 dedicated PSN's which handle 50k endpoints each (still limited to 50k total for deployment), and 2 x 3615 pxgrid nodes for HA. It's unlikey you need larger pxgrid nodes, I noticed scaling are still missing for 3600's pxgrid scale but a 3615 will support a lot of pxgrid v2 connections. In this deployment you could have the pxgrid handled by pan/mnt still and support about 160 pxgrid v2 connections.

Please verify this slides http://cs.co/BRKSEC-3432
Maximum dedicated pxGrid node is 4 & maximum subscribers per pxGrid node is 200

The 30 and 160 reference are the pxgrid v2 scaling we had in 2.4 on standalone and hybrid deployments, the numbers haven't been directly provided for 2.6. It's possible that pxgrid could scale beyond what 2.4 did with the introduction of high resource nodes, but for now the same can be used.
