Hi,  
I am planning to go for the ELK stack licensing version (x-pack). I wanted some feedback as to how many clusters/nodes/shards I would need for about 15 applications, generating 70 GB data everyday. Also, how many servers I need for this?

If you're chatting to Elastic (us) about a subscription, then we can also help you calculate this. So just mention it to whoever you are chatting to 🙂
