Hello Everyone,  
I recently joined in a Distributor for elastic and now we have to do POC, I am fairly new to Elastic and my main concern is if we have an estimated ingest of around 400 GB/Day how do we design the architecture for Elastic Stack is there any precise documentation for POC's. How do I size Shards or how many nodes.  
Again sorry if my questions sounds dumb as I have just started working with Elastic

Thanks
