A BigFix administrator plans to deploy multiple Relays in the environment. Some of these Relays must support the clients in large remote offices and…

According to the official HCL BigFix capacity planning documentation, a standard Relay configuration is designed to support a maximum of 1,000 endpoints. For environments requiring greater capacity, such as large remote offices, a Relay can be tuned for high-scale performance. This high-scale configuration, which involves adjusting settings like BESRelayHTTPServerMaxConnections, BESRelayHTTPServerMaxWorkers, and BESRelayHTTPServerMinWorkers, allows a single Relay to support up to 5,000 endpoints. These values represent the recommended upper limits to ensure stable performance and timely communication within the BigFix infrastructure.

A. These values are too low and underestimate the documented capacity for both standard and high-scale Relay configurations.

B. These values are significantly higher than the recommended maximums and would likely result in severe performance degradation and instability.

D. These values are arbitrary and do not align with the specific capacity guidelines published in the official HCL BigFix documentation.
