Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – Cortex — Question 16

A customer has purchased Cortex Data Lake storage with the following configuration, which requires 2 TB of Cortex Data Lake to order: support for 300 total Cortex XDR clients all forwarding Cortex XDR data with 30-day retention storage for higher fidelity logs to support Cortex XDR advanced analytics
The customer now needs 1000 total Cortex XDR clients, but continues with 300 clients forwarding Cortex XDR data with 30-day retention.
What is the new total storage requirement for Cortex Data Lake storage to order?

Answer options

• A. 16 TB
• B. 4 TB
• C. 8 TB
• D. 2 TB

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The new total storage requirement is determined by the number of clients and the retention needed. Since the customer is expanding the potential number of clients but keeping the data forwarding from 300 clients with a 30-day retention, the storage needed remains at 4 TB. The other options do not align with the requirements based on the retention period and client count.
